Some of my own work

Well, that was quite a week.  Three days out of the office for the weather (two because the office had no power).  At least I got to do some embroidery.  Like many artisans I know, I always have multiple projects running.  Here is an update on one of them:

"The Marshall Hanging" A piece based on the Bayeux Tapestry, though of course much smaller.  It depicts my husband and myself, with items of our arts (a cooking vessel for him, an embroidery frame for me), with other pieces pulled from the Bayeux.  This large piece rests on a pair of sawhorses when I am working on it. During one of the extra days off this week, I got most of the outlining done on the figure representing me -- just need to finish the one hand and the shoes. All those threads are the ends, which I'll weave in when there is more on the back to weave them into.

I also have one of the little animal figures done.  This little guy is in the bottom border.

Clearly I am going to have to use the regular camera for the photos for this piece, the mobile phone camera makes the ground fabric look very funky!

I also have a "portable" project or two going -- some embroidery on a tunic, a handkerchief in double running, and roll hemming a new veil. 

Do you find yourself with multiple projects in the works or concentrate on just one until it is done?
