I'm finished with the DMC on my mermaid. I have four caron waterlilies and four Kreinik #4 braids to add before backstitching and then beads! Lots and lots of beads.
I somehow managed to work on The Accolade for a week. Barely. On Thursday I got tired of it and switched projects. But I did manage to get down to row 118. I tried to hold on to finish 120 but couldn't. 13 rows until the end of the 2nd row of pages. Say hello to TW's Celestial Dragon. Or rather at the moment a tiny hint of dragon and most of the upper left corner border. For only using 29 DMC colors only 8 of those are actually used as solid colors. Everything else is blends. Update on my dancing. Friday, as I may have mentioned was my first competition with my new partner. We placed 17/23 in silver latin. I thought we should've at least made it to the semi finals but we didn't. Back to the studio for practice. A bit of good news, my mom bought me a new dress for next time. Similar in style to the roses one I made but leopard and I didn't have to spend time making it. My mom took video and I will edit it soon.
I started this a while ago. The Marcelle afghan. But I was running out of yarn on the final round. Put it away for a while. Then forgot where I put my pattern. Found it again. Frogged everything and redid it with a smaller hook. Also messed up on round 71 four times and didn't realize it until round 73... There were only 74 rounds. 2nd pic is it on my queen bed. Now to pick a new project...
I've been home all week with a pretty annoying cold and a fever that at one point was 100.7. So, I managed to finish Jewels of the Orient. Ta da! And I started my other Sebastian project. He has a fan this time. The north east got hit by a blizzard this weekend. Below is my back porch as seen through the screen door. Probably about 18 inches total. And we also have this giant icicle. Probably about 3-3.5 feet long.
She's looking lovely!
