Progress?

It just doesn't seem like I am making much headway on some of my projects. Here's one:
(Little House Needlworks)

And my Celtic Mystery. This Part 3 is just BIG!! I don't know if I will be able to keep up with this mystery for the year, if I cannot force myself to work on this part. There is a LOT of stitching....anyway, here's what little progress I have made on it...wip part 3

Thanks all for taking a peek and for your comments! I really do appreciate them.:)

Ornamentified

Ta Da!! Here's my tryout for Christmas Mystery 3, all done up as an ornament. I used some Artic Rays thread I had on had and twisted it with the floss to make the cording. It really sparkles;)

Ribbit, ribbit...

Block 1-Poison Dart Tree Frog
here's my version of the Poison Dart Tree Frog for the Rain Forest Quilt by Chatelaine. This is another one where I have purchased nothing, so far. Taking all the threads and colors I need from what I already have.

I just placed a few fabrics next to it, to get a few ideas about what I would like to do for colors.

Something finished - sort of...

tryout picture....it only needed about six Rhodes stitches and twenty beads to be done....duh....so as I was going through all my Chatelaine kits looking for threads...I pulled it out and finally (only two years late!) finished the stitching on it.

(This is the tryout for Chatelaine's Christmas Mystery 3.)
