A Bit Of Grid

After getting a bit more gray on the bottom, I decided it was time to add some gridding to the border and begin the backstitching.  So, the top left now has some grid!

Temari Kit

Andreas bought this temari kit for me from Japan.  I wanted to try out the thread brand in it.  I was even thrilled to get a pre-marked ball.  Maybe I will do it this weekend.

Novel Purselet

Riquita, one of the ladies at work, gave me this little purse.  Its center is made from poptop lids!  It's a really neat design, and I'll find a use for it.  Her great aunt's friend makes them.  I think it's pretty neat, and it fits a whole baseball.

Flaking Down

I think this is looking pretty good!  And it's mostly done.  I do hope I can complete it soon.

Still Peahenning

I am still working on filling in all the little confetti stitches on the peahen's back.  They're almost done.

Creeping Along

Well, I'm working my way across.  I'm stressing myself with how little stitching I'm getting done lately.

Finally Started My Year Long

After managing twelve months last year, I am trying again.  This is a Lizzie Kate series.  Yes, yellow is a bold choice for the background fabric!  The designs are smaller than last year, but I had to start later because I didn't have my stuff and had to order thread.
