I finished up the dragonfly belt buckle a couple of days ago. Figured I was so close when I finished the basketweave that I might as well ...

I got more of the background done. There isn't a lot of it, but continental stitch takes a long time to cover an area. I think I'v...

I got more on the background done this week. It's not all that much to do, since the design is so big. Maybe next week I'll have ...

Now on to the background. I used Frosty Rays for the wings, since the Fyre Works the stitch guide asked for weren't in the kit. I have...

I made a lot of progress on this while waiting for Mattie at the freight office at JFK last week, getting the dragonfly tail done (neat proc...

I finally finished the sunflower on this buckle. It only took me all the time in Kosovo to do it. Since I took this project with me while ...

I got a couple more petals done this week. After I get home next week, I'll get lots more stitching done. Maybe. Someone's asked ...

I discovered while on the road trip that the canvas is missing some lines on the petals. If I had done it the way it was drawn, I would no...

Two more petals done on this; I should be able to get more done on the trip, perhaps even complete the flower. This is my last scheduled bl...

This is what I worked on during my transit time. I did a bit of it in the Vienna airport watching two couples play Hearts at my table. It ...

Well, I got the body done and I think it looks good. The stitch guide is still giving me fits for ease of reading and organization. I don...

Another part of this buckle done - the swirls. The dragonfly's body is next. Yes, this is going to Europe with me. It should be somet...

I started this on the way home last Saturday from Pittsburgh. The spider webs went really quickly and I think it'll take a lot less tim...

One down, eleven more to go. My only hope is that the stitch guides get better. The actual stitching wasn't difficult, though several ...

When this picture was taken on Saturday, I still had over half of the background left to stitch. I'm happy to report that I finished s...

Once I finish filling in this gold, it's all silver tent stitchs in the background. I'll have the first of twelve(!) belt buckles d...

I finished the guitar this week. It looks pretty good. Now I need to put initials in the banner and do lots of tent stitches.

The actual guitar is started, which means this is very close to being done. Next step is couching the gold torsade around the guitar's ...

This is getting closer to completion. The squiggles are all filled in now. Since this picture, I've started on the guitar, which is g...

Well, I've decided that Gold Rush unravels too easily, especially when you don't want it to. on the other hand, I'm almost don...
