Grounding

Did a bit more ground and a bit more gridding on the top border.  Slowly it goes forward.

Stuck On Brown

I am getting tired of the bunch of confetti browns.  Yes, the peahen's looking realistic, but it's just boring and tedious.  Maybe I'll work on another bit next time.

Change of Perspective

I added in the third color on this band, and it changed the whole look of it.  From elegant and spare to more country French with just one addition.  Kind of neat to see it happen.

Bumping Up Priority

This, for now, will be the second item I work on daily until I'm caught up.  I'm so far behind on this!   My stitching time has been severely limited lately.  

On To Queen Stitches

Argh, this band has waaaay too many queen stitches.  They are NOT my favorite thing, mainly because it's a fussy stitch and I don't think it looks that great for the work.

Back To Boho

I felt like I was doing too much counted work lately, so when a spot opened on my rotation, I added this in.  It should be fairly quick and it's definitely not counted.  I do have a question of Bucilla, though - why did they put a tapestry needle in the kit instead of a crewel one?  Denim's dang hard to go through with a tapestry needle.  First thing I did was change the needle out.
