Church Street Shutters

Shutters and roof of the smaller building started. Still have about four pages to go.

 

Started an Attic

Both an attic and a couple of shutters are taking form.

 

Every Stitch Counts

It's hard to see the progress when things are so large, but I promise I did my usual amount of stitching on this. It's a bit more of the little house. This still has some ways to go.

 

Framing the Roof

Roof and shutters outlined now in this.

 

Shuttering and Stuttering Along

Added some shutter outlines this time. My stitching has been so slow this whole year Andreas has been gone. He comes home in just over a month. Yay!

 

Scaffolding the Roof

Making the skeleton of the roof of the small house. Looks like real progress for once.

 

Making a Roof

The final house has a column now and the start of a roof and shutter. Progress.

 

Still Starting the Little Building

This piece is so big that it never seems like I make progress until I get a large chunk of something done. This time it's a whole house that needs to marerialize.

 

Window Frames

Window frames for something different. Will be working on sidewalk next.

 

Starting a Roof

The little lines on the left (the red ones) are the start of the gray house's roof.

 

Along the Line

The first portion of the gray house is done. Time to add more tree, window, roof, and sky.

 

A Little Foliage

Got a little foliage peeking out from behind the tall house.

 

Starting a Tree

There's quite a bit of foliage down the side of the peach house. The gray one is shorter, so there's a tree peeking through.

 

A Bit of Tree

Since I have the beginning edge of the second house done, it's time to add some sky and tree. Going to be a bit to get to the house again.

 

This Too

I have decided to put this aside until I get to Angola.  While I've made a lot of progress, I'm still feeling like it's going very slowly and I'm not getting any joy from stitching it.  I need joy to counter stress in my life during the move.

Done With That Column

Well, I'm done with that first column of the new house.  Still stuck on brown, though, working on the areas I missed the first time.

When Will I....?

When will I get this bit of wall done?  I've been working on this column for at least four stitching sessions on this now.  Maybe it'll make the rest of the columns go faster because they're already partially filled.  Comes of such an abrupt color change.

Widening Out

I haven' gotten all the way to the bottom of the gray house because I've been putting some color wider.  At least some stitches will be done sooner rather than later.

One Day...

Maybe one day in the future I'll be done adding gray to the edge of the peach house; today is not that day.

More Brown

I am very happy to be done with the tree and hope that soon I will be done with the first part of the brown house....
