Tuscany Garden

After finishing my Mystery X, I decided to try and stitch a little on my Tuscany Garden. I put in the Rhodes stitch border, as well as the backstitched flower border, some beads, part of a medallion and part of one bridge.

Tuscany

Here's one of the small medallions from Part 4.

I just love the way this looks IRL.

"The Moose" and Tuscany

I worked on the outlines for Part 4 for Tuscany last night. I did manage to get the entire black outline done. ....and everything lined up just as it should the first time around (knock on wood)!

Just because he was there while I was trying to get pictures of Tuscany, here's another of my cats, Ranger, also known as "The Moose" (give this name by my husband because of his "great size").

Tuscany Town and the Secret Victorian Garden

Sounds like a novel title, doesn't it? Well, here's the latest on these two. I haven't done too much more on the Secret Victorian Garden (Mystery X). Just managed to finish the lower left hand corner. I still have some Jessica stitches to fill in on the inner corner.
This is Tuscany, with one of the motifs filled in, as well as a corner motif with the beads. Now it doesn't look like I have done a lot of stitching. That's because I took out all the lazy daisy stitches and replaced them. Now, they look much better...

WIP

Here's my Tuscany Garden, Part 3, in progress.
Still have a few more colors to stitch before I fill in the three colors for the background.

I think I will work on my Secret Victorian Garden for a bit....

(The more I look at it, the more I don't like my lazy daisy stitches; I think they will be coming out and be redone soon.)

Tuscany Garden

Here's my Part 2 for the Tuscany Garden by Chatelaine. I will add the beads for this part at a later date. Since I use a small hoop, it becomes difficult to move it around with the beads in the way. I'll probably add them after the center portion is complete.

Tuscany Town - Part 1

Here's my Part 1 of the Tuscany Town Mandala Design by Chatelaine. It is done on 32 count Picture This Plus Relic with the recommended threads.
