Finally!!

Today, needles were successfully threaded and stitches were successfully accomplished!

I worked on the Tudor piece this morning, but didn't bother with a photo. At the moment, I'm couching down the motif for the upper left corner, and nothing looks that much different from the basting stitches I placed to hold the motif steady.

Then there was laundry, and then there were some additional Domestic Diva Duties.

And, at last, the framework for the bottom panel of Carmen's Etui is complete! After dinner, I'll start filling in the spaces.

Hopefully, this means a return to regular stitching time.
