Lambkin Hill (and a couple of others)

A few weeks back I finished Lambkin Hill.

Then I started and finished in a couple of days this little kit of a cat from Mill Hill.

I also finally finished the finishing from the finishing class for standups on Charlie's First Landing. Really there was no reason for it to wait so long - all it needed was the cording tacked down (and DD did most of it for me - guess she got sick of waiting too).

After that I decided it was time to pull out some WIP's and try and finish them off before I get distracted by the next shiny thing. So I pulled out Desert Diamonds, Flyways, and Hot Air Balloons (which isn't really stitching anymore - I only need to glue the stuff that I forget the name of on all the lines).

Oh - and a photo of Blackwork Cats framed

Blackwork Cats

I have finished Blackwork Cats by Tanja Berlin.

Of course that also means I started a new piece - Lambkin Hill by Sakoran:

I also found a photo of another couple of RR's I did that I haven't shown you. The first I used pieces from both Just Nan and Dragon Dreams samplers. The second was a mixture of charts I found in my stash.

And my daughters first piece - she started this at the age of 4 and it's taken her 7 years to do. Right on track I think :)

Blackwork Cats

My blackwork cats are coming along. I've now finished two cats and am working on the third.

Blackwork Cats

Here is my latest progress on Blackwork Cats by Tanja Berlin.

And a picture of real cats - how they both fit in that space I don't know.

Tubular Bead Fob

I finished a WIP yesterday - a beaded fob from an ASG meeting. Called Tubular Bead Fob by Sharon Davis.

And here is my progress on Blackwork Cats:

A finish and a couple of starts

And the finish isn't even that big - it's another piece of Round Robin. My lines are from Patricia Ann Designs' Woodland Walk.

The starts:

One is an online class from Tanja Berlin - Blackwork Cats. I'm still on the first step. The rest of the class is on lesson 2....

The other is a workshop from my local guild chapter. Palais by Margaret Bendig.

I've also got a bunch of stuff for Christmas exchanges planned to do. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

Here's something I picked up at the guild auction - a WIP of Carole Lake's Silken Symmetry:

(I'm not counting it in my WIPs yet though as I don't consider it my WIP until I've stitched on it)

Finally, a piece of artwork that I don't think I've shown off before. I picked this up at a local gift shop one Christmas, and used my Christmas money to buy it. It's not obvious in the photo but it's layered and sort of 3D and really cool.
