I haven't done anything more on finishing the wizard as a standup this week. I really need more time than I have after work to stuff the piece, wrap the rocks in some quilt batting and put that in the bottom, then stitch the base in place. I am still thinking about whether to continue the beaded edge on the base in the front or not. I guess I'll make up my mind when I see how everything looks assembled. So there won't be a progress report until Saturday or Sunday on the final touches on Joan Thomasson's wizard.
That's not to say I haven't been busy with my next painted canvas or planning my ANG Auction project, but I'm not ready to reveal those yet. While you wait, how about you take a look at this new website? It sells off stash for stitchers who have taken a look at their pile and decided they'll never live long enough to stitch That. If the person running this is who I think it is, this is a very reputable way to turn the pieces you'll never stitch into stash cash.

The selection of items for sale changes. In the week I've been watching this, some things have disappeared and others appeared. It's a fun bookmark to browse looking for bargains, even if you aren't ready to part with anything right now.
