I forgot how pretty this one is. I really am going to try and work on it a bit. Now, I am not saying "finish" it....'cause as soon as I do....I don't want to work on it any more.;)

...out of hiding...

Here's my Mystery IX, which I worked on for just a little bit last night. I did finish one of the beaded scrolls. Now, there are only seven more to do...

This really is a pretty piece. Just wish some of those beads were done....

"Done and Dusted"...

as Jeanette on the Chatelaine Board likes to say. Part 11 for my Mystery X is done!! Beads, crystals and all....just waiting for Part 12 now. I have decided to name this garden in honor of my little girl kitty, Harmony. She has been having a rough time lately. Usually when I stitch, she sits on my lap. This garden is for her, so it shall be "Harmony's Hideaway."
Part 11

This pieces is already 17" square. There is still one more part and the final size should be around 20" square...a big one:))
