Crazy #18 - Beginner Whitework Ornament

Of course I'm not doing it in white.  It's got a good start on it, though!

Back and Forth

Little bits of this and that this week.  Bits of tree and sidewalk, and even some windows.

A Few More Blues

The second area here is a combination of  two silks from The Silk Mill.  I just couldn't find a single color I was satisfied with against the black.

Crazy #17 - Stacked Pumpkins

A bit of the top done and not much more.  On the other hand, it'd been languishing in my stash for a couple of years and will be pulled out now for sure into the rotation eventually.

Crazy #16 - Candy Cane Snow

I'm not sure which is worse: stitching something prefinished or stitching and then finishing.  This start came with everything prefinished, including a pillow.  At least I'll be completely done when I'm done stitching.

Adding in the Flourishes

The extra filling in the middle, with the thicker thread, is coming along pretty well.  I'm thinking three to four more stitching sessions, and I'm done.  It'll strike one of last year's starts off the list.
