Down to the Last Flower

Last flower started. Then a couple of blades of grass and another finish.

 

Six Petals

Managed to get this all hooped up and ready to give out.

 

Flowering Along

Getting much closer to being done on this. Still have a bunch of tendrils to do.

 

Shroomed

Time to make this into something round.

 

Chatelaine Stash

I ordered this a year before I got it, but it's here. Time for me to start another Chatelaine. Maybe once I get home.




 

So Much Food

More Knoxville food picks. This was one of the places on Market Square. I swear I ate too much every day while there. They have a lot of good restaurants.







 

Mainly Grayson

Puppies at home. Soon both the puppies and I will be back there.







 

View from Spilberk Castle

Some of the views from the castle walls. It overlooks Brno.

More Tail

Working on more tail. This is the centerpiece of the whole design.

 

Looking Cute

No backstitching yet, but the red panda is beginning to look truly cute.

 

Working on the Spines

The wing spines are coming along, and I fill in the membrane as I go. I hope to get this third page done soon.

 

On to the Alphabet

Lots of backstitching still left on top, but time to start most of the cross stitches in the alphabet.

 

Texas Canvases

Time to start these. They've now been in my stash for nearly a year.

 

More Knoxville Food

Some sandwiches and some frito pie.








 

Sprawled Puppies

Puppies sprawled out on various items. And me joining them.








 

Entrances

Some of the entryways at Spilberk castle in Brno.

Bits of Grain

I swear this skirt will end. In the meantime, I am going slowly across. At least some wheat kernels are beginning to sprout.

 

Dragonfly Sashikoed

Sashiko, at least, seems to go fast. All the dragonflies are done and ready to be made into a pillow or a tote bag. I haven't decided which.
