Beacon at Rocky Point

Done a bunch of stitching, just really didn't feel like taking any pictures last week.

Over half done with the lighthouse (and as you can see, the lighthouse itself is already stitched).

And we're off! No rest for the wicked, and all that.

It was feeling like I was doing a lot of big stitches lately, so I wanted to take on something a little bit smaller for the next piece. I'm liking the colours in the clouds, they're looking pretty good. All the half stitches in the sky are a little bit annoying to deal with with the stitching style I'm using, but at least they take half the time!

It is done!

Wow, that was a lot of backstitching. But I keep telling myself it was worth it!

While I really like the end result of this one, I feel like it would have been a lot more enjoyable had the pattern not been so horrible.

But it's done now! On to the next one (which I may have already started last weekend when I just didn't want to do anymore backstitching for a bit).

Herb Wreath

Took the wreath off the frame temporarily to get the very top and very bottom text rows (since the scroll frame would have been in the way) and figured I my as well get a picture while I had the whole thing available. I'll go back to filling in the words on the top half once I get it back on the frame, then finish off the bottom. Some of the gold-coloured branches go over top of other backstitching, so they really need to be the last ones done.
