Flower Finally Done

The big flower is all done, finally. Time to work on the dragon.

 

Diamond Square

This is now all done. I think it came out really well. All the blue tones down that golden square so much. 

 

Going Blue

Doing alternating scotch stitch for the blue background now.

 

Afghan for Julianne

Julianne had a baby in February. I didn't get this done in time, but it's done now. With a farm theme, I picked a color that had crops, water, and sun.

 

Done is What it is

Managed to frame this. Time to hang or give away.

 

Floss and Gift

I ordered the floss, but Tracy sent me more. Thank you so much, Tracy!

 

Gift From Leonora

Leonora brought these tasty treats home from Kosovo for us. Thank you!

 

Done and Gifted

Just after I framed this, I gifted it to a colleague who's going to India for work next month. He loved it.

 

Flowers from Andreas

Andreas said he got these because it was just time to. They're beautiful.

 

Bit More Ribbon

The ribbon is almost down to its final curl, and I have more wheat grain bottoms stitched.

 

Will the Edges Meet?

It's time for the most fraught part of stitching this - will all the edges line up?

 

Green Frog's Done

My hoppy green frog on the right is done. Time to start in on the blue one in the middle.

 

All Washed Up

My microbes are all done and ready to get framed. I guess this will hang in a bathroom somewhere.

 

Lunch at Divino

I managed to drag Andreas out of the office for lunch once in July; we went to Divino, a pizza place about two blocks from work. Food was great as usual.

 

More than One and a Half Sides

Still working on the sides. Getting close to the second side done.

 

Teal Ornament Done

This ornament is all ready to make into something to hang. Now to figure out how I want to do it.

 

A Bee Entrance

The bees can get into their skep now. I've still got quite a ways to go, but I might be close to halfway now.

 

Leonora Made Dinner

And a healthy one, too! Goulash and salad and mashed potatoes.

 

Dandelion Framed

I still think this is a really cute piece.

 

Merging Wings

Two eyes visible and working on merging the wings into one blob now. They are the single largest element of the whole piece.

 

cozyblue Subscriptions

I have stuff from cozyblue to make. I really need to increase my output.

 

Hot Pot at Luxi Beef

There is a hot pot place about a five minute walk from the house - and it's authentic. It even has a meat Barbie.

 

Made a Snail

Another little piece ready to frame. I'm on a roll, finally.

 

Looks Like Spring

This is all ready to be made into a heart. It was such a quick stitch!

 

New Brand

Never used Katia crochet thread before. Going to see how it feels.

 

Compass Framed

My compass rose is all ready to give away. Got to build up my hoard before Christmas.

 

Little Well

Another little piece to put in the give away stash.

 

White Breasted

My peahen has her white breast and looks sharp. The color is too blue in this photo. I need to ask Andreas to adjust.

 

Jeff's Not Quite American Grill

The big plus was the lemonade. It was great. The quesadillas just look sad, and the burgers were overcooked and had a sauce similar too In-n-Out. Yuck. But they nailed the decor for someone going for nostalgic side of the road place.

 

Orange Ornament Oranged

One of my several mid century ornaments is done. Several more to go.

 

Flower Almost Finished

Little bits and pieces of this flower to fill in, but it's substantially done. True progress.

 

Made a Diamond

Yay, now all the big parts are done and I only need  to fill in.
