Busy Busy FJL!

I've been wallowing in the motherlode of longstitch and tapestry goodness. I found a heap of unstarted canvases at my local op shop.. and bought most of them. Some had kits, some didn't. I've learned things - I can do french knots! ..in wool, and wool alone. >.<

I'm not sure *what* to do with th ones i've finished though - I think the tiger and the lady will be gifts, though - they were the two kit ones, and turned out the best, imo.

The other ones, I don't know. I might list them, I might gift them.. I might just frame them and spruce up the house a bit. Hmm.

There's one (the tapestry flowers) that i'verun out of BLANC on, but that's easily solved next time I go down to spotlight.

PICTURRRES!

I hope you liked these! And my washing machine! ;)


I've been working on these more than the Zep. cross stitch - I find Longstitch to be more enjoyable, because it provides more instant gratification. I like gratification. ;) It was a really nice change of pace, too.

I haven't found anything more down there, yet, that aren't literally cut in half or something irreparable, but I'm keeping my hopes high!
