The buildings are finished on the Mission San Gabriel canvas!
When I completed stitching the roof and facade of the building on the left, I popped in the window using DMC floss #3799 for the frame and DMC floss #318 for the panes.
The top of the lamp post was worked in satin and tent stitches with Kreinik #12 tapestry braid #002V and filled in with DMC floss #745. To make the pole and base look metallic, I used Kreinik #12 tapestry braid #100HL--despite its "high lustre" designation, this thread doesn't have the glitter of other white Kreinik metallics. The base was worked in satin and tent stitches, with the pole worked in stem stitches.
I added a sidewalk in slanted gobelin stitches with DMC floss #644. All that remain to be stitched are the trees, grass and shrubs, which I hope to finish in a few days.

You've been busy! I like the building, especially the stucco.
Don't know how you do it. You are so creative!!!
You've really stitched this quickly! Great texture, as usual.
I agree, you really moved along nicely on this project! And it's really looking wonderful too. I bet you'll be done by the end of the year!
