New Start (but no pics)

I sat down this evening and put a few stitches in the next ornament on my unoffficial ornament stitching list. It's Silver Stitches by Charlotte Smythe, from last year's JCS ornament issue. I did about half a dozen Rhodes stitches and a couple of eyelets and called it a night; I didn't take a pic because I just didn't feel like trudging upstairs for the camera :-) I'll get one when I've made a little more progress. The Rhodes stitches are done with DMC Light Effects silver metallic and boy is that stuff a PITA to stitch with! I love doing Rhodes stitches but with that fiber -- ::shudder::
