I actually stitched this from start to finish yesterday! I've suddenly had a new found interest in using my buttons on my quilts. And thank goodness because I have enough for this lifetime and my next!
I have one more Valentine ornament to stitch and I may be starting that shortly, after I fold a load of laundry and finish up my Kitty & Me paperwork for the week.

The Moonlit Peacock Quilt
As I mentioned last week, the peacock quilt is complete with the exception of the finishing. I took it off the frame the other day and just scanned a few sections of it to share here.
This is the center portion where the peacock is.
This section is the bottom left.
And this one is the bottom right.
I didn't scan the top corners. My signature sits at the top left. As soon as I have the time and motivation to transfer photos from the digi to a CD, I'll share a picture of the entire piece.
It's brighter in person than is shows here and very sparkly! If you would like to see larger versions of these photos, just click on the images and they will take you to my Flickr page.

Doorknocker Tutorial
I didn't get to do any stitching over the weekend. We ripped up the carpet in the short side of the living room and then last night, tore out that part of the ceiling. We might be able to hang a piece or 2 of drywall later today.
In the meantime, my friend Chris was kind enough to add my "Doorknocker Tutorial" to my website for me. For those of you who missed it before the post became lost in cyberspace, click here to find it on my website.

Valentine Ornament 4 Completed
I had a little bit of free time yesterday afternoon so I was able to complete this piece.
As you can see, I did some button clusters. It's been awhile since I've used buttons on any of my blocks. I've been watching Linda's current block and was inspired by her work. I have more buttons than I know what to do with so I kind of thought I'd better start using them.
I really love how this one came out. I hope to have time to start on Valentine Block #5 later today. I still have to take the peacock piece off of the frame, I just haven't made a point of doing it yet.

Valentine Ornament 4 With Embroidery Day 2
I was able to do some beading on this yesterday. I added quite a few beads as you can see.
I'm painting the other half of the floor today so I should be able to work on it in between coats. I expect to complete it and will share another photo tomorrow if I do.
In answer to Gina's question about taking before/during/after photos of the living room, yes. I believe Scott has been taking photos of the progress. When I have time to transfer the photos from the digi to a CD, I'll share some here.
