I'm still feeling pretty good about the progress on this, even though I didn't finish another row this time. The piece is coming together pretty well, I think!
Andreas decided we needed more bowls for our good green dish set, and that I needed egg drop soup bowls. Voila! Two birds down with one stone. Or porcelain. Or whatever.
I've got most of one and a half leaves done now. I'm keeping with stitching them according to my "mistake." The instructions call for doing all these leaves around before tackling any other part, but I don't know that I have that much patience.
I feel like I'm not doing anything interesting on this. It's just more and more background. At least this time it was a little tree trunk, too, but still. Maybe this is why I originally stopped at this point - no interesting stitching happening.
