After a couple of years, Oriental Courage is finally done.  It's my first Heaven and Earth Designs finish, too!  It's for Andreas...

I have maybe ten rows left.  I think it's time to just start working until it's done.

I've put a few colors of the ten on this to bed.  They're done.  I still need to complete about 25 more rows, though.

I've added a few more lines.  Eager to get this done.

I'm just going back and forth on the background looking to finish this up!

Working my way down and around the red and black.  It's just growing downwards slowly.

I am so wishing this were done.  I know it's close, as those bottom stitches are within three or four rows of the end, but it's n...

I've got half my "courage" character done now.  If that's really what it says.  Progress is slow but steady.

I'm almost to the point of being done with filling in the background for the moment.  It's caught up with the other items, so it...

Somewhat surprisingly, I am only on my second skein of the main red background color.  It seems like so much more!  I know I'm getting...

I've been filling out the background this time.  It's coming along, and I feel like I'm making progress.  It could be that I...

I'm not getting into a rage about this, but I am pretty bored...

...I get tired of confetti stitches; especially when it's one stitch in a certain color for twenty or more rows.  There's a lot of...
