Coming down to the wire

I was feeling pretty good about being able to finish my Chatelaine before the retreat in just over two weeks, but then I was asked to stitch the larger Friendstitch model again (they are offering two colorways, one more muted and one brighter) and now I'm leaning towards thinking I won't get it done. But maybe I'll be able to finish it at the retreat, which would also be kind of cool, so it's all good. After my last post I did decide to move into the center and do the cross stitches there, then I started the back stitching and specialty stitches, moving from the center outwards:






I received my three latest Tiny Towns from Faye Riggsbee a couple of weeks ago, and she did an amazing job as always:







In non-stitchy news, I woke up to this site outside my bedroom window about a week ago:


She was guarding her baby, who was nestled in a little nook off of my friend's patio next door:



They were there all night, then left around 1pm--I'm sure once the neighborhood woke up and everyone let their dogs out into their yards the mama realized it wasn't the best place to bed her fawn down. It was pretty awesome to see her so close, though.

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!
