Broderi Box Meh

I splurged and ordered Nordic Needle's February Broderi Box.  I'm not really pleased with the ordering system, as if you forget to order during the one week they're in stock, you're out of luck.  That's what happened to me on the March box.  Looking through this one, though, I see a lot of very much specialty threads - ones with very limited applications.  To me, this makes the box less attractive, as I'm going to be stuck with threads I have no use for for years.  I do like the color and presentation, but there are still several kinks to work out with this.

Beading Started

With this project, I've been trying not to miss areas to stitch, but it's been hard because there are so many beads.  Solution?  It's time to do both stitching and beading.

Now It's Nine

Nine stitched, three more to go.

Under The Hump

I'm more than halfway with this.  The grey on the bright background is pleasing to me.  Maybe I'll be able to finish it in the next couple of weeks.

Peahen Personality

The peahen is beginning to show a bit of personality, I think.  I'm getting pretty sick of all the brown, though.  The fabric makes the perfect background, and I'm pleased with it.

Greening Up

This next band is primarily green.  I've got a good start, but still a long way to go.

I See A Dolphin

Well, I didn't get to the hump on the right, but I did, somehow, make a dolphin shape!
