Extra Fabric

Dyeing for Cross Stitch had a small sale, and I took advantage. I knew I was going to start Ink Circles'  MAP project. Of these two pieces, Andreas chose the green. We'll see how it goes.


On The Way To The Zoo

We all went to the zoo, and here are some photos from our walk to it from the tram. Pretty canals. Cloudy day.

Working Around And Around

This has become my daily stitch for a bit, which means it's getting close to completion! This has been pretty relaxing up to now, but I don't like this encroaching braid thing - either doing it or the look of it.

A Little Color

The stitching's not all gray because I was able to add a color this time, and get the width of the piece done. Now to go down a bit and color more in.

Looks Crooked

Finished up the inside of square five and working on the outline. I promise it's a square and not a rhombus. It just looks skewed.

Celtic Garden Kit

I wasn't planning on buying this, but it was on sale and the pattern is beautiful, so I did. I now need to buy the pattern, Mystery XI, Celtic Garden Mandala, on the Chatelaine site.


Swan Scene

Ducks and swans on the canal in Amsterdam. Pretty day, too.
