Pewter Dragon Scales

I'm super excited!!

Last week Dani and I dropped Peacock off at the framer's.  We actually didn't spend as long as we have in the past picking a frame. 

They called Thursday night to say that he was ready to be picked up.  So this morning I went and picked him up

The molding is called pewter dragon scales; we didn't notice this until much later but thought it was appropriate for us to have picked.

Shortly he will be going on the wall in my bedroom, I just need to find what I did with the picture hooks.

The crappy weather has proven to be useful. I was forced to stay in and stitch.  I have finished Peacock!!

There's good news: I feel better, the cold is cleared up.

There's bad news: I have even more things on my to do list.

There's good news: I've been stitching.

There's bad news: I keep forgetting I need to blog.

So, here it is.  

A peacock progress picture.  I keep saying it's 50 shades of blue even though I think it's really 12

Outlined In Blue

Despite being sick with a cold the couple of weeks I have managed to finish the outline of Peacock.  

It took about 3 skeins of 823 but I have now started filling in.

I have also been working on some changes in the stash zone: details to follow.

New year, new bird

As I have the last few years, I started a new project on New Year's Day.

No I didn't stay up and start at midnight but when I did get up I started Peacock by Alessandra Adelaide Needleworks.

Here is my progress after day 1
