Hard at work

I'm posting a little update to PT. This is my progress from the last two weeks. First, I worked a bit in the bottom right area; adding a few more eyes. From a distance, I'm starting to see the tree, grass and tail form~encouraging!

Then, I decided I needed some mindless stitching so I worked on the top border. Before, this was only the gold outlines. Now, there is quite a bit filled in. I'm itching to do some of the eyelets. Should I or not? Maybe I should wait and do them all at once? Help, I can't decide!!!
I'm rather happy with my progress since I started the SAL; this is the most stitching the bird has seen since he was started. I think I'm beginning to get into a rhythm on this and that is very nice! I also like rotating my WIP's although I've only been working the two peacocks of late. I'll need to work on my counting sheep soon or they might get lonely!

I did post a picture of PT completely unfolded on my main blog in case you'd like to see the entire monster! ***This post imported from my other blog***

WIP Update!

Here is a little update to my Peacock Tapestry. I haven't unfolded it completely in a while! It is nice to see I've made fairly good progress on it in 2008. I'll post more pictures of it on the SAL blog soon.

Other news: The Talons remain undefeated...3 games, 3 wins. Last Friday we played the Arkansas Twisters and it was a nail biter! We did actually pull off a win against them...finally! AND at their house! I was beginning to think there was some voodoo curse working against our Talons... We play the Yard Dawgs (Oklahoma City) next weekend...always a great game to attend.

Struggling

I'm having a hard time today. I'm back on PT after working on Cypher and finding it frustrating. For example; I have just finished 12 stitches and changed colors three times! On this project I think I start and end threads more than I actually stitch...

I need to stop counting.

I like to gripe too.

Eyes!

Here is the latest photo of my WIP Peacock Tapestry. It has eyes! Peacock feather eyes, that is. It doesn't seem like much progress from my last photo but with all the blends and color changes it goes slower. There is some blending filament being used in the area I am in and now it sparkles! I was a little thrilled to use some of the brighter colors after all the earth tones in the grass and tree.

It looks like I started the complete opposite than Shannon. I got the border laid out and began stitching at the bottom right. That will be fun...you can watch her PT fill in from the top while mine fills from the bottom. I love Shannon's grid lines. That must make things so much easier. I was too excited to start stitching to lay out a grid.

I'm putting PT aside for a short while to work on Peacock Cypher. I'll try to get a photo of that project up when I have some progress worth showing.

Happy Easter to everyone!
