Sheep On My Stuff

I'm getting close now -- really close!

Most of the backstitching is done -- there's a bit of blue border for the blue flowers, and around the edges of the kimono. The vast majority of what's left is background, but that's fine -- I like the background work, as it's mostly stitches and half stitches. Yay!

Oh, backstitching, how I hate you. But you sure make things look pretty.

Well, the Powers of Two blanket is just not enchanting me right now! It's been a chore working on it, and when that happens with a project, it's time to put it in the craft room and move on to something else.

So I've picked up something I haven't worked on in a very long time:

This is a kit from Dimensions ("Elegant Kimono"), and it's lovely. I actually have a few large-size kits I've bought, fully and entirely intending to make them, but haven't gotten around to it -- if crafting, I tend to knit! But I do love cross-stitching. My house actually has a surprising amount of cross-stitched artwork in it, so on Thursday I'll be adding some pictures of finished projects that I have around the house. :)

(The sheep, by the way, is Ovistine again! Hi, Ovistine!)
