A busy day, but I got in a few more layers.

The new project

I started a Kick Back & Stitch design called Aldebaran. The outside border is Smyrna crosses and the Waffle stitch is Neon Rays and Kreinik ribbon.

You know I usually won't stitch anything twice, but I did repeat the cross as another gift.
