:applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: Wow!! You have made beautiful progress on your Tree of Life. I love how deep and rich the colors are. Reminds me of a tapestry.

Love the Hardanger. Very delicate. Very pretty.

Both your projects are so beautiful! I'm glad to see an update on your Tree of Life piece. The colors are so vibrant on this piece. I've seen it stitched several times and love it just the same each time.

The 'Tree of Life' is just so amazing. Simply blown away by it.

American marsupial time: It's 'Ossum'.

Thank you for all the lovely comments. :D :D

I'll be sad to finish Tree of Life in a way as it's really fun to stitch (apart from the border which is a bit tedious).

Sorry, I was being a bit obscure.
Comes from watching lots of US teen movies with my youngest daughter. These fast speaking, unfeasibly scrubbed & wholesome, school kids seem to pepper their language with the word "Awesome' only pronounce it as 'Ossum', which sounds to me like it should be a North American Marsupial.

Regards,

Richard.

Two more Round in Circles completed, September and October's designs:

I also restarted the Arabian Walled Garden Chatelaine (the one I stitched the wrong way round on the fabric last year). I've got to the same point as I did last time so I'm sorry this looks like the same picture I posted before. It's definitely not, and it's definitely the right way round this time! (Also has a bit of backstitch that I missed on the first attempt, not that you can tell at this resolution.)

Back to Tree of Life now, really hoping to get that one finished this year.

Thanks for looking. :D
