Cross Stitched

Finally all the cross stitches are done. On to the specialty stitches and beads.

 

Starting a Wing

The green lines up top are the beginning of a dragon wing. The rest is coming along, at least. There's so very much to go on this.

 

Never Ending Border

Still working on this border; I hope to get it all done soon.

 

Lots of Tail to Do

I am working on the tail right now. It's the most colorful bit, so it's interesting. Most of the rest of the piece is tail.

 

Still on the Edge

This last part is coming along, even if slowly. About one and a quarter sides to go.

 

Half the Third

Third side getting there! I feel so bad about not getting this done by the end of last year. I've been unable to stitch much lately because of other things going on. Hopefully by next month that will all be over.

 

Working Around the Edge

Still working around the edges, but well over halfway done now. The end is in sight.

 

Lots of Confetti

Many color changes in the area on the right I am working on now. But still progress, and I will be filling in the gaps soon.

 

Sideways, But Two Sided

Halfway done with the last part, but so much backstitching left to do.

 

Still Branching

I am -so close- to the peacock's tail again, but still have a bit of branch fill to go.

 

Little Ridgy

Not sure if it's back or wing at this point, but I've added some dragon ridges to the piece.

 

Two Sided

Two sides done on the last part. Feeling accomplished.

 

Putting Little Flowers In

Not really visible yet, but there are little flowers on the left hand bottom side. Getting them put in before starting again on the peacock tail.

 

Getting the Purple On

Lots of purple in the last stitch. Green is coming out, too. But that flower is d-o-n-e.

 

Nearly Two Sides

Almost two sides of edging done. Still want to finish this before the end of the year.

 

A Couple Leaves More

A couple more leaves done, plus lots of brown (again). Progress, but slow.

 

Close to Half Round

So very close to being halfway around.

 

Back to the Branches

I am back to the tree branches on the left now. It's good to be four pages done.

 

Lots of Confetti

With that flower all done, it's time to work on the little dragon. It's full of confetti and, at some point, I made some counting mistakes. Having to clean up that, too.

 

Working on Crenellations

Putting crenellations on the right side house as I work my way down that side.
