Can’t believe it’s been three weeks already ?! I’ve hardly had any time to stitch. I’ve been busy lately with Cats Protection Christmas fundraising, as well as a short trip to Berlin (First holiday abroad in over 15 years) during the Christmas market. Ate loads of nice things such as langos (hungarian delicacy) and marzipan and probably had hot chocolate replace the blood in my veins. Worth it though… Peacock didn’t make that much progress as I started getting a bit bored with it, picked up the victorian mansion which you may recall from the « cross stitch rescue » post back in march. This was a graveyard project my mother couldn’t see well enough to continue, so it’s made it’s way in my stash to finish for her. Promise I won’t break the rules however and the peacock will still be there each update.// Je n’arrive pas a croire que ca fait deja trois semaines ! J’ai a peine eu le temps de broder puisque j’etais occupee dernierement avec Cats protection (association pour chats) pour recolter des dons pour Noel, et egalement un long weekend a Berlin (premieres vacances depuis +15 ans) au marche de noel. Je me suis gavee de Langos (specialite hongroise) et pate d’amande et j’avais surement du chocolat chaud pour sang dans mes veines, mais ca en valait la peine. Le paon n’a pas fait enormement de progres parce que j’ai commence a m’en lasser un peu. Pour changer j’ai brode la maison victorienne (projet que j’ai recupere en mars, a l’origine appartenait a ma mere, qui ne voyait pas assez bien pour continuer). Je ne vais cependant pas briser les regles du SAL, et je continuerai toutefois le paon a chaque MAJ.

Love the lace trim on the Victorian house, and that peacock just gets more beautiful with every stitch!
That looks like a lot of stitching to me. I like both projects. Feel free to change projects any time you like. We all need a break sometimes.
What a beautiful embroidery! The little kitten loves!

The peacock is so beautiful, the colors are perfect. I love how the backstitching on the house really makes the details pop.
The peacock is looking glamorous. I stitch more than one thing at any time to keep interest going. Both are looking good.
The peacock is so gorgeous and it looks like you made some good progress to me. I LOVE the Victorian mansion though and I am so glad your finishing it.
peacock is looking lovely, but the Victorian Mansion is looking amazing! You’ve made loads of progress there and the backstitch really brings all the brick work to life!
Bonsoir
Une petite avancée sur le paon, mais aussi une belle avancée sur la maison victorienne. Tu ne peux pas tout faire en même temps. Bonne continuation. Bonne soirée sous la pluie. Gros bisous.
You still made some fantastic progress! I love the colors in the victorian mansion. Your stitching is beautiful all around 🙂
Since it’s been more than three weeks since I’ve seen the peacock I see a LOT of progress! You’re doing very well with it, You may get used to the gold threads on the feathers if you just leave them for the time being. Meanwhile, the Victorian house is also looking lovely.
I think you have done a lot and the peacock is so beautiful! I wish I had a daughter who could finish all my « can´t see » project!
Lovely progress on both of your beautiful projects. That house is stunning.
They’re both gorgeous, but my favourite has to be the peacock, he is stunning!
I love the peacock as well as your « cross stitch rescue » project on the gingerbread house — especially the cat in the window! Beautiful as always!
They are both so beautiful!
Both projects are absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful stitching!
