I made a deal with myself that I could go ahead and start Convent's Herbal Garden on New Year's Day IF I stitched on only Alhambra Garden the week between Christmas and New Year's AND once I spent a few days on the new start, it was back to Alhambra Garden until it is finished.
Here is the progress on Alhambra Garden - definitely starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel - but it will still be a little stretch before I can really happy dance.
And here is what I managed to accomplish in 3 days of stitching on CHG. *sigh* it isn't nearly as much as I'd hoped, but the over-one and eyelets slowed me down a bit.
The fabric is 28ct Fairy Dust, which is a soft peach tone - very yummy. I'm going to have to figure out what to do about the yellow flowers along the outside edge of the design though cause I think they will disappear on this fabric if I stitch them in the recommended 094 Lemon Waterlilies. The yellow eyelets in the picture are that same floss color, but I think they are okay here since they are surrounded by other stitching so they still pop okay.
CHEERS TO THE FRIDAY THAT FELT LIKE A SATURDAY!

Oooh Jenny! Such discipline. Both are looking amazing. That light at the end of the tunnel is really getting there...
Wow, two Chatelaines - you lucky girl. They are both so beautiful. Alahambra is coming along very well. Keep it up.
Oh SO pretty! Both of them!! :D
Your Alhambra Garden is looking awesome! I need to dig mine out. LOL
Your progress is beautiful even if it's not as much as you wanted. Love the Fairy Dust fabric!
Your over one is so pretty. I think those are two Chatelaines I don't have but they are both beautiful.
