Happy Mother's Day!

Almost there

Painted Pony mini angel
 Since you saw her last she got a hairdo, makeup, hands, collar and bones on her wings.
Bowl of dog food
Some smyrna crosses and cross stitches in three different threads make up the dog food in the bowl.

Major progress on Painted Pony mini-angel

Bedtime on Wednesday
I went stitching with the Swans today.  I stitched the bodice, outline, and bottom border background.  After dinner I stitched the skirt.  Could be finished by the weekend!

Feeling green

Roof to my Thanksgving House
 I love the stitches Amy chose.  The darker green stitch is called the Vaulting Fan.

Glinda's Bodice is done!

Overview

Goof up
 I tried using a smaller version of the stitch on the back boob but it looked weird.  I went with two rows of stitching with dark part of the thread and continuing the stitch.  Maybe one row would look better.
