Dense Petals

Lots of petals are overlapping in this section, so there are many color changes plus green leaf peeking through.

Finally Showing The Kit

I've already shown the actual embroidery on this a few times, but hadn't gotten around to showing the kit itself.  I like the little cloth bag; it can even be stitched otherwise.

Gifted

I gave a couple of large bags of yarn and other things to the deputy chief of mission's maid and she was so happy for it she made me these knitted slippers and a bead necklace.  They're lovely!

Belly Full

The peacock now has a full middle.  Things are moving along.

Time To Start

Time to start the Petite Arabesque, since I now have the kit from Laura Perin.  It's on the stitch maynia list.  While I was ordering, I got the four ornaments pattern, too.

Five Flowers Done

I have five flowers all back stitched and done but for beading on two.  The honeysuckle has its cross stitching done, too.

Starting For Me In May..

I signed up for Long Dog's Sneek from SewandSo. Time to get started on it in May.  It will be part of my Stitch Maynia starts.
