Last Two

These are the last two of my Texas series needlepoint kits.  Now I need to free up some stretcher bars and make them.

Long Stitch From India

 
I found a needlework store by accident while on a walking tour of Colaba.  Surprisingly, my guide let me in.  He was both interested and confused, as he didn't know people actually did these things for leisure.  These are all Indian designs and were about half the price of the same kind of kit in the US.


Decision Time

I've started back to work on this, as I'm back from India.  I'm running out of the pearl cotton used for the edging.  This lead me to think.  The pearl cotton is a Polish brand and it'll be a while until I get back there.  The color's unusual enough that it'd be hard to find.  So... I am going to stop after the next three sections.  It'll leave a nice, squarish piece.  Now to get those three sections done.

Another Border

I now have a second border around my star.  Getting this a bit progressed.

Pretty Stationery

I am a complete sucker for pretty stationery.  This is inked in silver and sparkles in the light.  It was also about a dollar and a quarter.

Some Stars

Stars to put in the new place.  I hope we have a well built house in Kosovo.

One More Done

Yay, a finish!  As my moving time comes nearer, I feel the need to complete more things and get them finished.
