Another Progress Pic

I've made a little more progress on my guy's stocking this month. The chart calls for the reindeer to be navy blue (whatever!) but I was in the LNS a few weeks ago and she had a model with the reindeer stitched in brown. Now why didn't I think of that! I decided I preferred brown reindeer to navy blue ones, so brown they are!

Where Did September Go?

So what happened to September? Wasn't it just Labor Day?

It's been a crazy few weeks for me; we are soooo busy at work that when I get home I don't feel like doing much more than surfing the blogs and plopping down in front of the telly to watch Jeopardy! I've done a little stitching but not much. I do have some progress pics. It took Blogger forever and a day to load these two, but maybe I can post a couple more tomorrow.

Here's where we are with Anna Theis:

The rose wreath is fiddly and therefore time-consuming, but I love the way it's turning out.

I found a mini SAL on Eva's blog ; the completed design is posted a little ways down on her blog, on Sept. 21st. The first part is just the center, a block of Algerian eye stitches. I'm using GAST Cameo Rose and Creamed Spinach (I think) from Crescent Colors (I think) on a piece of Lakeside 40 count Attic Lace (I'm sure) that I found when I went stash diving. Here's a close-up of part 1; I have a larger picture with a little more perspective and I'll try to post it tomorrow.

All this messing around with blogger has kept me up past my bedtime! Happy stitching, everyone!

Biscornus -- Wow!

Or biscorni? Which is correct, does anyone know?

Doesn't matter. Check out this cool blog:

I just discovered it via the HDF website forum page. These are some amazing biscornu designs.

Enjoy and happy stitching!
