One dress to go!

After over two months, I'm almost done with Party Dresses!

Where I am now:


Detail of the two dresses I've done in the last two weeks:


Projects I'm also working on- for my mom and dad's anniversary in June:



Two hours on the teapot so far. It's very simple.

For Father's Day (my dad loves Frank Lloyd Wright windows):


That one is harder than it looks. I've done about an hour on it so far. I should get it done in time, but it's tricky. It's almost all backstitch on 28ct evenweave!!

Mom loved the card and eyeglass case. She's using the case to store her iRiver instead of glasses, though!

She bought me two new books this week- Travel the World in Cross Stitch by Lesley Teare, and Quick and Clever . I like Helen Philipps' designs, too. I've already been inspired by some of the designs. I'll make time to do stuff from them!

I also have one book on my wish list:
Subversive Cross Stitch

Naughty, naughty. I am especially fond of the "bite me" chart. This book is number one on my birthday wish list...
