Today's Progress

This is the second corner of the middle frame (I'm planning intending three concentric frames). Of course the corners don't match (question of honor).
The orange dragon is a leftover from a fabric I painted and ordered from Spoonflower.

And now I would like to introduce you to very special friends of mine: Mr and Mrs Bullfinch. They had breakfast on the ash tree right outside my kitchen window. As I was trying not to disturb them, I did not approach the window closely enough, so the pictures are a bit blurry. 
I used to see a group of them 8 or 9 years ago, up to 4 couples came to these trees. Then, from year to year, there were less individuals. In one year, I just saw a female, giving sad (as it seemed) beeps of search. I was afraid there are less of them, although they are not an endangered species. This couple is healthy and well fed which makes me optimistic.
