321321321Fairy Day SAL!
I have been busy with Revelation this weekend for Fairy Day. I made my goal to finish the 10th full page! So that means 2 full rows completed. I am completely burned out on the project now. It took some effort to get through the last 800 stitches. I have been struggling with this project the whole month. Most days I have had a hard time managing more than 300 stitches. I made an extra effort Sunday though. I will be taking a picture tomorrow when there is lots of light. I want to get an extra nice shot. :)

321321321Revelation 9.5 pages
Here it is at nearly 10 full pages! After a bit of a breather I am moving along nicely, although hardly super fast. I sure am looking forward to finishing this row! :) I should have no problem getting there by the end of the month. I will try to get a really good picture then. Most of my pictures just turn out really dark. I always have to adjust them in Photoshop.

321321321Sunday update
The camera was held hostage last weekend and part of this week, so I have been extra slow updating. :( But here is what I have been doing this week. I took a breather from Revelation to do some small stuff, below are the results. I am back working on Revelation again. Hopefully by next weekend I can make another half page mark and post a new pic. :)
Cats!
This is a section from a pattern posted in Anna magazine, Jan 2007 issue. My cats are missing eyes tho! I doubt I will do the whole pattern.. it's one of those where there are lots of diagonal backstitching, but they use whole crosses. Drives me crazy stitching "outside" the lines, and it's a lot of extra effort to figure out fractionals as you go. But this would make a cute finish on its own. :) I may do more or do parts of the pattern as individual finishes.
Winter house freebie
Here is my Christmas-winter house freebie I made this past week. The beads and embroidery don't really show up so well, but they are nice and shiny in person. :) I think this ended up a little too large for a pillow, so I will just make a little wall hanging thing out of it. The pattern is on my sidebar!
