I love that Tanya Berlin piece - congrats - looking forward to the picture.

That's definitely a switch - but sounds like a good idea.

Only two projects in the current rotation:
Laura J. Perrin's Amethyst Dreams, which I'm not stitching in
amethyst, but blacks, silvers, and grays and thus I refer to this
project as "In the Midnight Hour." More than 75% finished. Need to
make the big push on this one. This was a class that Ellice taught
last summer.
And Martina Dey's Tsunami Charity sampler that was in the autumn 2007
issue of SANQ. I replaced the silks with Crescent Colours and figure
I'm about 20% done. I've developed a new fondness for Quaker style
samplers. Very relaxing, meditative stitching.

And it's stunning. If we're lucky - we could both finish and get them into
Woodlawn - tee hee (my excuse, I taught it twice, and had to leave my piece
in the works to be able to show the students in session 2 the back, etc.)

And it looks nice in the CC.

I'm working on a beaded frame -- Piece of aida is the ground; an oval cage
similar to ones used with cabochons holds the picture in place. After corners
are done, fabric is folded over, edges turned in and beaded and when beading is
done, the thing is slipped over an acrylic frame, the ones with easel back.
I have 2 more of the kits, each with different corner techniques, that I may do
next, especially if someone in my family 'commissions' a frame.
A friend of mine creates the kits and used to sell them at her shop in
Michigan. Since moving to TN, she's not updated her web site or put in a
shopping cart so I won't give y'all her URL. Some of her designs are available
through Mary Maxim and other catalogs.

Ornaments....assembling two versions of the freebie from Blue Ribbon
Designs (I took liberties with the colors):
http://www.blueribbondesigns.com/
(click on freebie link)
and stitching the little stocking from the Workbasket in this year's
ornament issue on 40-count linen in the silks called for. It's beautiful
-- and I may actually KEEP it, LOL!
Last night instead of doing cross-stitch I crocheted - finished up an
afghan that had been waiting some time for one night of concerted effort
to get it finished. So now I can check that off and clear it out of the way!
