Last week I got more of the specialty stitches done on this. It's easier to do them than it is all the cross stitches. I really need to get more time to stitch. Not going to happen today - ten hours in a car. Doing the driving.

Cleaning It Up
As seen in this picture, I'm redoing the right side border. It's coming along. I've gotten another square done and this section has a corner, so I can see how that's going to come along. It's interesting. Since I've finished two deadline pieces this week, I'll be working on catching this up more, too.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I'm grateful for having the time, ability, and stash to stitch whenever I can.

A Christmas Finish
I started this one day and finished it the next. It was the October program at my face to face EGA chapter. the fluffy stitch is called rya, and it looks like it could be successfully substituted for turkeywork in some situations (ie, when you need directional pile. I think it came out kind of cute. It also counts as number 13 on my project challenge and my July ornament for my ornament a month. A quickie threefer!

Asian Nights- Cobi's Block
I did two motifs and one large bead line. They're visible in this close up. The circular motif is supposed to be a mandala circle, or prayer maze. The one up top is a basic shaped I found from a picture of a street drawing in Delhi. I punched it up with a lot of "bling" metallics. The bead trail is supposed to symbolize how India juxtaposes so many divergent things but they all come out as a harmonious (for the most part) whole.

Stuck on T
While I was on holiday, I managed to get to T on this. I haven't worked on it since, though it's in my modified Christmas blitz rotation. Truly, I should just take a day and finish it. Only six more letters, after all.

Crackers Made
I finished these up this morning, and since my husband took a picture of them, they're all sealed into their envelopes and ready to go places. Each one has threads and trims and buttons and beads inside. I hope the recipients like them.

Joyeux Noel Done

Rhodes Around the Corner
With all that's gone on this past month, I feel like I've made so little progress with everything. That's why I decided to go ahead and finish Joyeux Noel. It'll make me feel better to get something -done-. The bottom left corner has all its Rhodes in place on this neglected mandala, and the bottom right is started. At least it's something new.

Over the Halfway Point

One project I managed to work some on in the past couple of weeks is this little ornament. I still love the colors on it. They look brighter in person than in this picture. I think I'm just going to finish it before stitching on something else, and ease myself back into stitching.
