Super Long

This piece is over two feet long now.  I'm almost to the edge of the fabric, where I'm going to call it an end.

Browns

This time, it was all about the browns.  Got some branch done and a bit more background.

On To The Next

Outlined and started filling in the next building... also did some backstitching on the bottom.

Marsh Meadowed

It's done!  All the fiddly little stitches, even.  I liked the pattern, but got frustrated with how it was charted.  Often, there were areas where I was unsure of placement of stitches.  The chart is Marsh Meadow from Keslyn's.

A Couple More Rows

Just worked on some hair and background again.

Monastery Visit

 During the worst weather in March, there was an embassy trip to Curci monastery.  It was miserable!  While we could see that the monastery itself was beautiful, they wouldn't let us inside for some reason.  There was also a (very long) baptism going on in the church, so we weren't really able to see that, either.  We did, at least, get to visit the church gift shop.  I bought these icons there for my mother.  I hope she likes them.

We will definitely be going back in warmer weather, and hopefully be able to see at least the inside of the church.

Little Bits Of Color

I'f started working on the wavy border below the fence, if barely.  Progress is progress, right?
