New Art

The annual Night of Art was April 5th, and we bought this tapestry there.  I'm normally not a fan of yellow and gray, but this piece reminded me of a peacock feather.  I still like it, and it was under $50.  Now to hang it up in the house.

As Far As I'm Going For Now

 I managed to get to stitch 38 or 39 before getting to the end of the fabric on my TAST sampler.  It's been a learning experience, including that I really need to baste edge lines before I start.  I've learned some new stitches and played with others.  I have no idea what I'm going to do with the finished product.


Temari Gone Bright

Ana and I started a rose garden temari during our regular session.  This is as far as we got.  I, again, went out of my comfort zone with the colors.  I've never worked with a chartreuse ball before, but I like the way it's turning out.

Thank You For The Chocolates!

Last week was a good week for the chocolate lovers in me and my husband.  Sasha brought us back Lindt from his training in Germany and Olga brought us back the Empire State chocolates.  Thank you to them both!  The Lindts were eaten (mostly by Andreas) while I've been saving the others because the wrappers are so pretty.

Little Bits Of Little Angel Hair

Just a few more bits of hair done this time.

Finally Finished

I had been waiting for the thread to finish this.  It came a couple of weeks ago, so last week, I spent the fifteen minutes to finish the last border.  Now to figure out what to do with it.

New Sampler

I have finally started Angie's Dreams Sampler.  Needless to say, I've changed up the colors quite a bit.  This is the bottom left corner.  I -really- wish she'd start on the top left sometimes.
