Herbularius part 6

As you can see part 6 of Herbularius is finished now. For some reason I had to frog a lot of the golden scrollwork of this part. I started stitching part 5 yesterday afternoon, but it will be impossible to catch up, because part 7 will be released on Wednesday. Perhaps next month...

DD got good marks for all her preliminary exams of the first semester on university! This means she got a three week holiday during the period of the re-tentaminations.
Last week we went to the ice-sculptures show in the city. This year's theme was 'sea' and there were many beautiful images, like this big fish.

And a pirate with a wooden leg, a parrot and a treasure chest.


The hole in the terrace is fixed. The plumber replaced a part of the pipe and DH filled the hole with twelve pails of sand and replaced the tiles. Thanks for your comments and your concerns. And welcome to all my new followers.

Beautiful stitching on the Herbularius! I'mlooking forward to seeing what Martina will give us in part 7 (even though I haven't put a single stitch in this yet, lol).

Your Herb is beautiful. I know that you will get caught up; you are a pro at those Chatelaine designs.

Interesting ice sculptures and beautiful lighting.

Take care...

So much to see in each "part" Congrats for keeping up as well as you have. Your ice sculptures look fantastic compared to the simple carvings we had in our town this weekend.

Your piece looks beautiful. I'm sorry that there was frogging involved though! The ice sculptures are wonderful. We usually have a show in my town, but it's been postponed for a month. It's been too warm!

Herbularius looks wonderful! There is a lot of stitching in those parts, I'm amazed that you have kept up as well as you have. Hope the frogs have had their visit and been on their way. The ice sculpture are amazing! Glad to hear the terrace is all fixed. Do not envy your husband having to haul all that sand.
