Much embroidery progress

Oops--I didn't mean to wait so long between posts, but I have been working diligently.  Hopefully pictures will follow shortly, but I have finished the stitching on the hardanger project.  I still need to cut it out.  I have also finished the stitching on the blackwork project.  I still have ends that need to be dealt with, but the silk ones need fraycheck or they will just slip out of their knots. 

I have made a decent start on the brickwork piece.  I have decided what all of my colors will be.  I find myself doing a lot of picking back stitches that I missed a count on about 10 min to an hour ago, but count really matters in brick stitch work so I really need to fix it.  I am starting to have enough done that the errors are a little more obvious-the difference in the length of a short gap that is a thread too short or too long versus the same error on a longer gap is much harder to see.  (I hope that made sense to people other than me :-) Anyway, today looks like a slow day at work and as I have permission to embroider I will probably do what I can to start the free embroidery project of the Athena's Thimble Owl, which will be my fourth project. 

Happy stitching
