Finish, Start, and Stalled

I finished the secret project, and have the stuff to frame it. I also got a frame for the Spring Carousel Horse. I started TW's Stroke of Midnight, and I'm still waiting on the beads for Springtime Roses and Celtic Spring. I've done everything else on those two, so as soon as those beads arrive I can finish them up.

Updated pics are posted in the sidebar--including the first Wip pic for Stroke of Midnight. It doesn't look like much yet....

WIP Update

I'm still practicing French Knots for the "secret project". I'm starting to feel comfortable enough to do them for real. "Springtime Roses" is soclose to being done....but I ran out of gold beads. I can't find them in stores around here, so I had to order them online. So now I'm stalking my mailbox. I knew I was getting low and wasn't worried 'cause I thought I had another package....D'oh! The gold beads are also used in "Celtic Spring". I've got the top part beaded, and most of the medallions on the left. That leaves the lady, and the right-side medallions, and 4 of the left-side medallions left to bead. Then it's done. Squee! Looks like I'll be choosing 3 new projects soon.....

I need to either get DSiL or DMiL to babysit DD, or perhaps go with me to the store and keep up with DD there so I can pick out some frames. Shopping with her right now is nearly impossible if it's for something that takes time to pick out. Like frames, or clothes.....she just doesn't stand still and wants to touch *everything*. Sigh.
