Nora Corbett Reindeer

I finished the first two reindeer. I've decided not to stitch the borders, since I will be finishing these as flatfolds and connecting them all together with a nice ribbon. As if they are in front on Santa's sleigh....who knows, maybe Nora has a sleigh in the works, too.:)

More Hawaiian

WIP 1/23/08 Yeah!!! The black borders met up as they should! Still have a bit more stitching to get this part finished. At least I have the outline ready to put in the next part just in case those specialty stitches don't get done in time.

Hawaiian Garden

WIP  (12108)a
Here's a bit of progress on Part 2. I've only done the cross stitches on the two side "pineapples." I will fill in all the specialty stitches (Rhodes, Jessicas and backstitch) after I finish the fourth side.
