Well we had a quiet weekend at home this weekend so I have a little finish to share with you - Quaker Reindeer by
The Workbasket. I'm pretty pleased with how he turned out - I copied the idea of colourising the Quaker medallion from a someone on the Legacy Embroiderer's Guild Bulletin Board. I used Gentle Arts Cranberry and Blue Spruce for the medallion and he is on 36ct Light Cappuccino R&R linen. He was a fun stitch!
I have be diligently working on Japanese Octagon box this afternoon and here is my progress on that piece. I've got to finish the backstitching on the lamps, backstitch the pond weed, do the specialty stitches, backstitch around them and then do the beading and
then I'll be all done. Yep, still a bit of work to do.

Good work on the JO box! And I love how you've changed the Quaker reindeer. I was going to make this at Christmas, but I didn't like the one-color approach. I'm going to steal your idea!
The reindeer looks great like this. Good job :)
Your reindeer turned out great! Your Japanese Octagon box is looking fabulous as well :)
Your reindeer finish is great. Your Japanese Octagon Box is still looking stunning.
Cute reindeer! I tried commenting when you had your box up earlier this weekend, but blogger got weird on me... add me to the long list saying it is just beautiful!
I like the reindeer with the different colors better than solid! Thanks for sharing the idea :)
