Bit Of Finishing

I promised myself that this year, I'd actually get around to finishing some of the things I stitched.  So far, I've completed two ornaments.  Here's the second!

Handmades From Hungary

Well over a month after being sent, I received Maja's exchange from The Stitch Specialists.  It was well worth the wait!  I love the handstitched ornament and handkerchief, and the fibers and goodies are beautiful!  Thank you, Maja, and I'm sorry Turkish Air took so long to get it to me.

Crazy Start #27 - Reversi-Mitten

This will go pretty quickly.  It got added to my rotation a few days ago when it fell out of the "started stuff" cabinet, and this bit here is just one session of work on it.

One More Column

One more column of stitching done, including the left sills of the windows.

Thank You Mel!

I received a surprise in the mail a couple of weeks ago - Mel sent me this beautiful card and floss all the way from Australia!  Thank you so much, Mel!

Crazy Start #26 - Elizabethan Snails

Finally, a crewel piece!  The Scarlet Thread was having a sale a few years ago, and I picked this up.  It's small, so I should have it done fairly quickly once it gets in my rotation.

One more motif done.  My language teacher says this one looks very Moldovan, as the main colors are the colors of the Moldovan flag.
