a leafy flower

I shouldn't complain about not getting anywhere on this because progress is clearly being made.  Maybe not as fast as I want, but I blame video games, as usual...


Colors are a bit overexposed from the color correction, but it's better than the colorless blob that comes from taking a picture without flash and NOT correcting it.  The color variations aren't quite as striking in real life, but this looks nice too.

Decided to do the leaves in a lighter green so I wouldn't have to buy too much silk... should only need one pink and one dark green at this rate.  Hoping 123Stitch will get the new Mira up soon, I want to order her along with the silks I need so shipping can be combined...

  2. Its so pretty - I always remind myself when I think I am going slow is 'each stitch completed is another stitch closer to finishing it'.

    1. Yes! I need to remember that too... I like finishes and I don't always enjoy the journey as much as I should because I get impatient.

      Kind of like everything else in my life. :p
