On To Queen Stitches

Argh, this band has waaaay too many queen stitches.  They are NOT my favorite thing, mainly because it's a fussy stitch and I don't think it looks that great for the work.

Back To Boho

I felt like I was doing too much counted work lately, so when a spot opened on my rotation, I added this in.  It should be fairly quick and it's definitely not counted.  I do have a question of Bucilla, though - why did they put a tapestry needle in the kit instead of a crewel one?  Denim's dang hard to go through with a tapestry needle.  First thing I did was change the needle out.

March's Little Extra In Progress

I decided to make a biscornu for the CyberStitchers EGA chapter Little Extra this month.  It's coming along well.  I changed out every color, as it was originally in autumnal colors.  You can see the original here.  I think it's going to be pretty.

Looking Wintry

Finally things are looking like trees.  Because of the beads being such a large part of this, without them, it looks much more abstract.

All Turtles Down

Yay, it's finished and it looks cute!  It's going to be sitting in a box for a while as I decide what to do with it.

Wooden Picks

Got these in the now-defunct as of this week Dottiebox.  Cute, but I have no idea what to do with them here in Africa.

Slow Going

I'm still on January!  I can't seem to find much stitching time between work and arranging the house.  At least the latter seems to be getting closer to completion.
