Getting closer!

I've been making some pretty good progress since I've been on vacation from work for the last week.  I forgot to take a picture whrn I moved the qsnaps this afternoon but I think you can see the progress.

Progress

Here's another week's progress.  Im hoping since I've made ot through Santa and the toys progress picks up a bit.

Santa!

Santa is gradually making his appearance!  

Here Comes Santa!

I've made some pretty good progress this week on my tree skirt which is saying something since this has been a WIP since 2007. 

Before:

With Flash

Without flash.  Love how the windows of the buildings seem to glow!

Here's to hoping I can continue with this one for a bit longer.  I would really like to see this one finished before the end of the year.

Finish!!

The beading is done!  This is probably one of my fastest Chatelaine stitches at just under a month 11/3/14-12/1/14

Next, I think I'm going to tackle one of my oldest WIPs and see if I can't get it closer to finished too.  It's a Dimensions tree skirt "Here Comes Santa."  I think I had it out last December.  Here's the last picture I took.

I remember buying this since it was on clearance and my kids were little.  I need to finish it before my kids are all grown up!

So Close!

Since we had a four day weekend, I've managed to stitch my little heart out.

Friday night 11/28

Last night, 11/30

I got the center and one corner beaded last night.  Today, I've discovered that one of the bicones is wrong but that's easily fixable.  I'm hoping tonight I can fix the boo boo and get the rest of the beads on.

Until then...
