Marching Along

One daffodil's almost done and I'm almost halfway down with this.  

On The Leaf

The instructions for the fillings are all overall and not individual motifs.  I've decided to do them individually because it sends a bit of accomplishment with each of them done.

Thank You, Luca-S!

For the technical excellence prize, I received all these nice things from Luca-S.  The pillow kit is on a premade pillow.  I also got a 1500 lei (approximately $85) certificate from them.  I need to figure out how to spend it.  They gave me a catalog to see what I can get, even!

Butterfly Kit

Luca-S has a whole series of butterfly kits in their catalog.  This one was the only one in stock when I went to their store in Gemeni the other day.  Disappointed!  I do want the other ones, and I am definitely changing out the fabric....

At A Snail's Pace

This was a crazy January start from three years ago.  I've finally got it done.  When I worked on it, it was pretty quick.  My main problem with the kit is the color difference between the kit's photo and the colors provided in the kit.  There was at least a three shade difference.  I'm thinking of getting MolDeco to make this into a pencil box.

I Won!

Our framing shop held their annual embroidery exhibit.  It's the largest in Moldova, and they give prizes.  It's also curated.  I was asked to submit three of my pieces.  One won both the people's choice and technical competence awards.  I was shocked!  I was also  the only non-Moldovan in the exhibit.

To The Bottom

I've managed to bump into the bottom of the piece - the butterfly on the left is all the way to the bottom.  Now to fill in all that missing stitching....
