And last but not least I have a new start! I decided after doing all that gift stitching, I needed to reward myself with this lovely called Tree of Stitches, designed by Abi Gurden. I'm using the black fabric from an aborted piece that drove me crazy because of my color choices. This will only be the third time I've stitched on black. The first was The Castle by T. Wentzler (which came out great but drove me crazy stitching it), the second was aborted, and now this attempt. So far so good. The stitches are larger - which helps. I'm stitching really slowly. And I'm only using 3 threads, #13 Perle Coton, a gold thread and a Caron Wildflower -- all larger, easy to see threads. Here's the result so far (actually I've done more but didn't photograph it yet):

Finally, here are a couple pics of Spider and Meadow, just hanging out in the yard:
Poor Spider is teething now and I swear he's grown since I took these pics. He and I have been taking a puppy foundation class once a week to get him ready to be a good adult beagle. He has two classes under his collar and since he gets lots of cookies, he's having a blast!
Hey -- I added this later. A current pic of Tree of Stitches.
Have a good one .....
