Also, I have a question Re: stitching. Do you use one of those scroll do-dads to hold your fabric and what do you use to help keep your spot on the pattern?
...yes, I'm having a hard time. The fabric won't stay tight in the little circle deal-ie, and everytime I look away to make a couple of stitches, I loose my place on the pattern. What works for you? Do you have suggestions?
Also, I stitched a declorative doily for my daughter...I'm not a great stitcher...I wondering, could you look at it and tell me what you think of it?
I answered Nikki off list, but I'm always happy to help encourage anyone with questions!

Another shot of my Lilies. They've really been spectacular this year, and and have opened in a colour sequence. Just as one colour is dying off, another starts to open. Unfortunately, these seem to be the last of them. :( [Image]
Stitching Update: As promised, this time with photos... Fantasy Triptych is what I've been focusing on lately, and it has just grown by leaps and bounds. May I present to you the start of the rocks under the castle?

And a shot of the full progress so far. I am so sick of greens right now, but there are many more in the rocks, so I'm not done with them yet. I debated stitching on across the bottom and finishing up with the trees all together, but decided I wanted the change. Besides, there's not much point in doing the backstitching until I can do all of it for the trees, and since they extend up into the rocks... [Image]
Next up is the receipt for all the floss from my floss fairying! It was a fun photo to take, especially since I know how much it will be appreciated. Remember all my readers out there, I'm always happy to buy and mail! [Image]
Okay, so there's one last photo from my garden. I was playing around with working on my macro shots again...

Also, in answer to Jan's question, I haven't started getting my blog links together yet, I've been too busy stitching. At the same time, I haven't had a single person ask to be on it! Please, leave me a comment and I'll be more than happy to link to your blog!
