Flowering shrub

 I decided to poke at Carmen for awhile today.

I think this is supposed to be some kind of flowering shrub. Obviously I don't have too many flowers on it--yet--but I hope I can finish it tomorrow. Actually, I may stick with Carmen until I get the two pages I wanted to finish in October completed. We'll see how that goes. Apparently, along with epic fails with rotations, I also don't do well with setting goals when it comes to needlework.

And, on another topic completely, I do want to let the readers who comment on my blogs know that I read and appreciate every message I receive. For some reason I haven't been able to respond to them for over a month.  It probably has something to do with metrics, or the algorithm, or whatever odd and peculiar computer/media thing operates blogger. Please just know that I love and appreciate you all.
