Chinese Garden Mandala - day one

Here is my progress after my first evening of stitching Chinese Garden.  It doesn't look like much yet and I don't have all my threads so I am stitching with the ones I do have.



Wish I could say there was more done now but I did this on Monday evening and haven't been able to get near my stitching since.  I am not going to get Baroque done this month let alone this.

I am off to Tasmania tomorrow to see my mother, but I will take 3 french hens with me and still try to have a mini international hermit and stitching weekend (IHSW), hopefully I will get this one finished.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and if you wish to be a hermit click here random ramblings

Have a great time with your mom and I can't wait to see your french hens finish! Happy mini IHSW!!!

Wendy,
this is a great start.
How nice, that you got to do it now!
Now, many embroiderers cleave to the monitor and will consider your stitches and will be a little envious. And I too (smile).
I look forward to continuing.
Great success with your projects!
