Back to the Tree

Still working on the tree side. I'm trying to get the page done, and there are about fifteen rows, more or less, to go. Slowly getting things filled in.

 

Bringing out the Peacocks

These babies haven't gotten any love in quite a while, so I've taken them out of the bin and into my rotation. Worked on the tree a bit this time.

 

Communicated

I think this will be a keeper. I like how it turned out.

 

Second Budded

The second bud is almost complete and the third is placed. This is almost done.

 

Starting the Stems

Nearing the end as I am on the stems now. It's only stems to go, along with a couple more tiny buds.

 

Second Bud

This is obviously getting closer to done. The second bud is coming along, and the third bud is started. This should be done soon.

 

On a Second Bud

Ladybug's done and a second bud started. Looking good.

 

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!
