After having my first finish of the year with Splendor IX, I thought about going back to Cirque des Cercles or my "Gentle St. Nick" stocking, but I felt like starting something new.

I decided to do Brightneedle's "Welcome" and love the soft colors on the higer count linen. I've actually gotten alot done on this since the picture, while being home sick with the flu. It's nice to work on a smaller project!

After starting this, I ran across Juls' progress picture of her Cirque. I love the colors she chose & am hoping mine turn out as nicely (I'm doing blues/aqua in Caron's Waterlilies "Monsoon").
