Romantic Rose Garden Mandala

I finished beading Tuesday night.  

I'm trying to decide which Chatelaine to start next since it feels really odd to not have a Chat WIP.

Third Corner

I just finished the third corner of my Rose Garden Mandala.  Getting closer!

Rose Garden

I have my Rose Garden back out to pretend it's much warmer out than it really is.  We don't have a lot of snow right now since a lot of it has melted away but I would almost trade our 7 degree F temps this morning for a couple of feet of the white stuff.  Brr!

February's here already??

I haven't posted my Chatelaine updates here as often as I should so I'm here, now to correct that.  

Last year after I finished Deep Blue Sea and Summer Knotgarden, I pulled out Watergarden which, at the time, was my only remaining Chatelaine WIP.

Here's where it was when I pulled it out in early August.  The center was complete, but I had just moved to the border and the gates.

early September

and early November when I put it away for a bit.

I pulled it back out this weekend and have made a little progress around the bottom left corner.  

I did have a new Chatelaine start  in November as well.  I've had the Rose Garden Mandala kitted up and ready to go since it was released in the Gift of Stitching Magazine.  I finally decided it was time to start it.

This is how it currently looks.

Now, back to the Super Bowl and Watergarden.

  

Romantic rose garden

Hello from France,

I have also stitched the romantic rose garden from Martina Rosenberg. I saw it in the gift of stitching and I like it very much. There are not many roses but it's quite lovely.




Not too big.
