my beautiful "assistant"....<3

....but now, we can move on!!!

Round 11, in hot pink....

....just few stitches before the end of the round, I needed to use a new ball...

...you may want to have a look at the back ...

...I really like to take a lot of pics of the details.....

...with red, a new round : 12 (!!!)....
