Egypt Garden Progress

Here is my latest progress pic of Chatelaine's Egypt Garden. I would normally stitch through the weekend but Laura has inspired me to stitch some Christmas Ornaments. :-)

TW Monday Progress

Well, I quit working on Dragon Ride for 2 days and then worked on it again for TW Monday. I think the break was what I needed! Next Monday, when I pick it again, I should be starting on the inside of the border. This week I'll be working on Egypt Garden so I should have a nice progress pic for the weekend.

I was out in the yard picking up pecans that have fallen out of my trees and I saw this little guy just hanging around watching me. I love taking pictures of insects for some reason so I was pretty excited when he let me get pretty close to him. Isn't he beautiful?

I Surrender!

Well, I have decided to cut my TW October Sal a little short. I find myself not stitching at all just to get a break from it so that's a sign to stop. I enjoy the variety that I get from my rotation stitching so I will be going back to that. I did get a lot done on my Dragon Ride so I don't feel bad about moving on to the next project. I'm actually getting the urge to start a new project but I must resist! I have way too many started as it is!

Another Progress Pic of Dragon Ride

As you can see, I finished the rider! Now on to the border.

Works in Progress

I've been working on my Dragon Ride for a month long October TW SAL. I would very much like to finish the rider and at least some of the border this month.

The granny square is my first crochet project that I started maybe a year ago. I set it aside and then forgot how to do it but after reviewing some tutorials online, I remembered how and finished off the blue that I had started. I would like to keep going on it and possibly make a lap size afghan. The next pattern I want to do is the ripple. My Great Grandmother used to make ripple afghans and I still have the one she made for me. She is a major reason why I wanted to learn to crochet in the first place.

My Sweet Petunia

I just couldn't resist getting a photo of this! This is her "I know I'm not supposed to be on the couch but please don't be mad, mommy" look. I ask you, how can you be angry at a face like that?

Ornament HD!

The first pic is Intermediate Whitework Ornament by Teresa Wentzler. I was scared to cut the threads but it turned out very well for my first try. The thread is Bethlehem by Weeks Dye Works.

The second pic is a close up of the fabric that I'm using to make my purse. Yes, I know, it's kind of wierd but I love it and that's all that matters. I hope to get some progress done on it this weekend maybe.
