First up two bookmarks
There is some satisfaction in having mastered this Aztec Stitch bookmark. I finished a cream monotone one too but that has been given as a gift already. These two will stay in my box of "finished but with no permanent homes" box of goodies - here's a couple of fuzzy shots.
Well, a hardanger border for an apron and a piece of Myreshka. Previously I've stitched a couple of pieces of Ukranian Myreshka but I was afraid I had all but forgotten the technique so am giving myself a refresher course. As well I have printed off three Christmas Ornament charts from the old Gift of Stitching digital magazine and will make a start on those too once they are kitted up.
The DBEM isn't well so I'm confined to quarters a little more and am finding ways to improve the shining hour.

Nice finishes! I might try another Aztec stitch bookmark. The first one I made had some difficulties, but I was able to finish it.
Interesting Aztic stich bookmarks and the mice are gorgeous.
I hope your mum feels better soon Margaret, it's hard to watch our parents age and slow down. Your little mice are a delight.
The mice are adorable! Those Actec Stitch bookmarks seem to be flying off your needle now that you've gotten the tricky stitch figured out!
Wonderful bookmarks. Is shining hour a reference to How doth the little buzzing bee improve each shining hour? A poem I had to memorize in grade 4 and remember bits of still. Meanwhile can't remember where my glasses are...
Love those little mice, they are so cute! The bookmarks are great too.
I hope that Mum perks up a little and can maybe come out for a trip with you.
I always think of Lewis Carroll - How Doth the Little Crocodile! I learned a lot of poetry via Lewis Carroll before I discovered the original versions.
Same with popular songs and the Muppets!
Some great finishing work! I hope you and mum will be out and about again soon.
Lovely bookmarks and the mice are adorable! You make them look easy to make!
