i have got quite a bit finished, and am just going to show you in pictures:

downstairs finished

previous posts are here and here.

just a bit more to stitch, and then it's on to backstitch and french knots. quite a bit of french knots in this project, oops! not my favorite stitch!


i will try to get back later today to blog about our trip to sasebo. you can check out photos here, though it's only the ones i got with the olympus. the nikon died yesterday morning, and i am only just charging the battery now. the kids and i are going to kuri's today for an easter celebration, so i don't know when the next post is going to be!
