Blue Nails

I went to the same nail place twice while I was in training.  It's Ivy Nail and Spa in Arlington.  They did a really good job.  This is a photo taken the day I got the manicure a week ago Saturday.  Even doing my daily stuff, the (non-gel) polish stayed on just above a week before beginning to chip.  It's a really good deal, too.

Treed

I believe I now have the tree stitched completely.  There's some grassy stuff below it, but I feel I am getting close to the bottom of the picture.

Three And A Half

Sometimes I wish this sampler wasn't quite so wide.  It gets boring doing the same pattern so many times.  Looks good, though.

Two! Two Gargoyles!

The second side gargoyle has finally appeared.  I've also done more work on the border this time.  More work to do on both gargoyles.

It's A Bird ... It's A Plane ... It's A Rectangle?

I have one more area outlined own.  Not too bad progress for being away from home.  This is coming off the stretcher bars tonight to be packed into my suitcase.  I hope to get more done on it after I get back from week after next's emergency.

Flowering Up

Almost all the bullion flowers are done.  They're the main focal points, so maybe after them things will go faster.

Growing Bigger

I am almost done with the first two pages!  I think this is beginning to look magnificent.  Today is my last day of working on it daily for a while, though, so it'll be a bit until it gets this kind of love again.
