Ladybug and Bud

I have most of a ladybug done. All of this is the widest part of the piece, so the rest should be quicker. But color and something other than the same flower's petals mean progress to me.

 

Big Ladybug

Not only do I have a ladybug, I have a daisy bud, too. This part is the largest part of the stitching. But the spinner hasn't been kind lately.

 

Parsleyed

I managed to get the parsley done. I think I will make it into a little bag.

 

Little Green Blotches

You can kind of see the parsley leaves peeping out. More definition later.

 

Color!

I have color, finally! The ladybug is showing up, plus there's some brown. This is real progress.

 

Orhidee by Luca-S: Make Stuff May #14

Another Luca-S start. I'm hoping to get some real stitching done when I'm confined to the hotel room with the dogs. All my responsibility will be taking the dogs out.

 

Still More Petals

I am getting tired of neutral colors on this. I know there's color somewhere.

 

Eight Petals

I swear that it is going to get some color soon. 

 

White Wine

Wine is ready. I think it came out pretty well. This goes with the red wine one that I finished a couple of years ago. Maybe I'll find a good framer when we move to Warsaw. Else, a trip to Moldova is necessary.

 

More Neutrals

Still only neutrals here, as I am still working on petals. The good news is that I will have almost all petals done soon.

 

More Petals Complete

This photo is a bit dark, but it does show more petals finished.

 

A Fountain Of Petals

More white and neutrals. I swear there is color in this piece. Honest.

 

Almost Bottled

The bottle has about five rows to go. It's almost done!

 

Petals Like Blades of Grass

Still gathering petals, but I'm to the bottom of some of them.

 

Little Petals

The petals are coming along. One's about done, and a second is well started.

 

Bottling Along

The bottle is getting more done, but there's quite a bit to do. On the bright side, another leaf is about finished.

 

Half The Bottle

The glass is nearly done, and the bottle is halfway. Things are getting closer to being done.
 

So Much Bottle

Most of the stitching left on this is the dang bottle. So much black on black. But it's looking good.

 

Tocanita And Mamaliga

Sometimes you just need comfort food, and this is it. Mushroom tocanita, chicken tocanita, and mamaliga. All prepared by me. Memories of Moldova.

 

Turning A New Leaf

There is another leaf taking shape, and the bottle is growing.
