Another finish and two new projects...

I finished "So Many Choices" tonight. I'm not very happy with it.



I hate satin stitches. I hate them even more than French knots!

I'll never do a stamped cross-stitch piece again!! I really don't like the way this one looks. The design is cute, but it just seems so sloppy. My mother loves it. She thinks it looks like an old-fashioned sampler.

This will be my last update for a while...I am working on two big projects, and they are very slow going.

First: Felicity Wishes "Party Dresses":


It's a lot harder than it looks. This is all I've done in about three hours:


I've got a long way to go!!!

Next is Carousel by Teresa Wentzler:


Where I am after about two hours:


I don't expect to get this one done this year- but it will be worth the effort. I love carousels!!! The problem with this one isn't the size- it has many blended colors, which are a pain.

It will be about a month before these look like anything. So I'm probably going into lurk mode for a while, unless I take time off to do something small!!
