WIPocalypse now - March update

Another full moon means it's time for another WIPocalypse update! Between work and attacks of life, my stitching is maintaining a fairly glacial pace.

At last writing, I was focusing primarily on Chatelaine's "Convent Herbal Garden". I'm now at 27 hours:

That's been put aside for a while. It's now Lent and I've shifted focus back to MarBek "Nativity", now at 40 hours:

The Magi is still on the fabric - he's just Sir Not-Appearing-in-this-Update because the smaller image with him in didn't compress well.

I'm also continuing with canvaswork for those times I want to stitch but am not really situated to work on something timed. Needle Delights "Amethyst" has grown quite a bit since last update, but I'm still far from done:

Caron Watercolors "Bark" is shaping up much prettier than I would have thought from the model picture - I'm very happy with how this is coming together.

My goals for next update are to have Amethyst done and have at least another 10-15 hours in on Nativity. We'll see if it actually works out that way!
