Sew Dance

Although I haven't really finished anything this week, I do have "finishes". I have finished page 2 of Fantasy Triptych. I have finished page 3 of Insanity. (I know it's still the top of a tree) And I have finished sewing the heptagons to the afghan. But in reference to the title of the this post, I have finally caved in regards to Stitch From Stash. I may have gone a bit overboard with the combination of gift money plus Joann's sale on DMC. It started off with knowledge of the sale and 'innocently' browsing the clearance page at abcstitch. Which led to the following purchases. Peacocks   Holiday Tree V   Watergarden   Cirque Des Cercles   Dragon's Eye   Looking Glass - Black  Sleepy Hollow   Blue Dragon Fairy   The peacock and Looking Glass are kits, and the last one is the only non-sale item.

It's either the angle or she may have just been sleepy.

My progress so far on Fantasy Triptych. So happy I get to work with a colors other than gold/brown and "stone". Started another afhgan. Have to make 98 of these spirals before joining.   Also picked up the cathdral rose window afghan and ran out of gemstone. It's sort of discontinued. Pick up a skein on Ebay, it's close enough even with the longer color changes. Thankfully, it's going to be used on 'heptagons'. I can intersperse the newer yarn with the older and hopefully no one will be able to tell. (kinked yarn in the newer one) Also started the Leaflines shawlette. I have tried this one twice before and finally am happy with the yarn and color changes. Ideally the color changes wouldn't be quite so long. Saturday afternoon, there were 3 deer, a mohter and two babies eating mushrooms outside my house. I took a few pictures through the window.   I then went to work. Came home the following morning to this guy walking...
