I really love the box, nice 'watery' looking bottom part to it.

Just popped over to take a look. Lovely, just lovely!

Ok, folks - how does one get to r.c.t.n.p.?(I presume the p stands for pictures. I've searched on google, and tried to find it listed in newsgroups.

I would like to see what everybody is excited about, and I feel like I'm missing out!

Finally catching a break - and they're all just great. I really like the mermaid box! How's the next mermaid coming - have you started the whimsical one?

not yet...the next one is in progress: the "Corragio" one. It's a BIG project!

've got enough of the top half done to recognize all the motifs, LOL! In other words, outlines of leaves, but not filled in. One rampant lion done, not the other. Tonight I hope to finish the border (the viney one) to the bottom of the right side. the whimsical one is awhile off. Though she'd make a cute box lid, too! Hmmm, now you've got me thinking/planning/itching...

Sometimes I feel like Lady MacBeth. But instead of "out, out damned spot!" it's "out, out, damned project idea!"

Yes - huge and gorgeous.

Yup - that would. Or one of those pillow things.

Uh huh. Darn it. Working on my idea for the finishing of the coffee house piece - something that can hand "softly" in the breakfast room - where it's not too near the stove. My LNS owner/friend did point out to me that it was an easy piece to stitch and if it gets yucky in some time, I could always redo it - since usually pieces in the kitchen area we frame - but, this just doesn't call to me that way.

I'm just starting the first band of double running in Love & Wisdom. Looking pretty good. But, darn that silk likes to tangle a bit. Did the row of double cross-stitch that borders the double running, and after finishing noticed about 1/4 across, on the back, a little tangle so that there is a loose little loop of thread - not big. But, I think I'll show it to Donna - I'm afraid that my anal self is now going to rip it out and redo because I fear that it will loosen on the front. OTOH, that stitch really locks in (basically the first leg is an over 2 / then you go back 2 thread as if to start the crossing leg on top, but instead it's 2 by 4 (down 2, over 4) \, then back 2 thread on the bottom and the over 2 / again. Finishes with an extra \ over 2. Looks kind of like an arrow running across the linen.

Maybe do it like an oversized ornament? I did that recently with a gift piece that was about 8" X 12". Turned out really nicely, too...with cardboard in the middle, and cording around the edge, and a cord hanger on top.

I was thinking along that line, or doing like a quilted wall hanging - but small - with the piece in the middle. Got some great fabric to go with it when last at G-street . I just have to motivate.
