Gothic and Midieval Shelf

It's been too long since I've been writing. That's not right. So I promise to do better.
I have worked a lot on Gothic. Five pages was added.
But then comes a new grandchild (in May), and I have put her aside.
Along with Sanne there is a new project sorted out for the new nursery. Midieval Shelf, from Spangler. I do not think I get it ready for the birth. But I will come far. 23 pages in 20 weeks is too much., Even for me

Gothic

In the winter there is always more time that I can embroider. With nice weather we are more outside and exercise more. Now it is delicious with chocolate milk and a homemade cookie to be home.
Gothic, from Marta Dahlig goes smoothly. Already two pages done.
There was also great news, we will be back grandparents next year. Lucas gets a little brother or sister. The first echoes are created and the baby is growing well.

I am exactly  half way with Gothic from marta Dahlig. (18ct aida)  I'm going to start again at the top. Then a piece of the face will appear. I always find it exciting. I have a dollhouse inherited from my mother, ( she didnt like it anymore) and I'm knitting a blanket. Also fun to do.

Outrageous of myself, that I do this again to slow to show the progress. Anyway, now still just taken time. I have quite a lot done. I've already been down to the edge. And now a top piece started. I see her jewelry emerge. Fun to do. Only strange that the example shows a purple dress but I have to make it green. Maybe it even changed towards the front. Well I was just enamored of the color.

The process is slow. Four pages done. You can see the arm well. Not if you are on top, but now the picture is taken. Very beautiful.
It is tempting to first do the face. But I simply love surprises. So I go down first. Well boring but that does not matter. Maybe I do work from bottom to top, in order to keep up the tension.
