I participated in but I didn't do my follow-up post, so here it is.
As I had Monday off, I did add an extra day to my weekend.
While Magic Dreams was my focus, I spent a good part of Friday working on Jordan from Nora Corbett - I just found out she actually has a name...
She went from here:
to here:
Just the beading left the peppermints aren't attached, I just wanted to see how they'd look. I played around with beads and settled on a silver lined clear Magnifica. They were left over from another project. I think I have enough to finish this piece, but not the other two so a small order will be going in soon. I also changed out the called for DMC on the wings and swirls for a Petite Treasure Braid it's a Christmas piece, you can never have too much sparkle on a Christmas piece!!
Back to Magic Dreams. He went from here:
to here:
Lots of stitching with lots of different colors and blends. He's on the frame as my focus piece this weekend too. I would like to get him finished or very close to finished as there is a very good chance that the doctors aren't going to let mom carry him until February 5th.
A few more leaves and part of another branch on the Temperature Tree:
and a bit more progress on Time for Seasons:
I added a lot of blue and if you look closely, you can see a house in that negative space there in the middle.
Rain in the forecast for this weekend, so once I get the errands run, I'll be inside stitching.

Awesome progress on your pieces, Susan! The pixie looks darling. Have a stitch filled weekend!
Great Hermitting progress! But J is for Jo not Jordan LOL. Love those peppermint buttons, great addition to the design.
Lots of lovely stitches you put in.
J could be for Julie ... ME!
Awesome progress on Jordan and the whale! I think it won't be that long before your next finish after all.
