That is a lot of thread. I couldn’t help but notice exactly how MUCH metallic gold there was…
Indeed - very promising!

Next task is to take the inner ring round to the other side

I've been filling in the outer border pattern this last week:
And I remembered to buy some more beads for it
I have just started working on the branch and am deciding if I want to do her dress or the flowers after
My stitchy bug is nearly as strong as my garden flock's enthusiasm to strip all the sunflower seeds from the seed heads. Note to self: I need to grow more Sunflowers next year for my birdies.

Well, your enthusiasm is producing something much more decorative than ravaged sunflowers

My birds are so messy that I have sunflowers all over the garden anyway!
Lovely stitching, as always. You are really flying through this.

You must have a Turbo Needle
Every stitch in place and perfect. How pretty this is.

I am blaming the weather. I only managed 30 mins in the garden before the rain forced me to continue stitching. Consequently I have just finished the leaves in the outer border:
The last job on this piece will be to add the beads to this outer pattern.

Thanks Mabel
Made it to the end of stitching her dress:
Not a fun part to stitch all 1/4 and 3/4 stitches and rarely more than 2 stitches within an acceptable distance of each other.
I dread looking at the other Fairies dresses because I fear it will be more of the same. I put my Peacock to one side because I wanted something I could make meaningful progress on and all the 1/4 and 3/4 stitches were so slow to stitch.
The leaves are nice easy bits to stitch so I might do some of them next and if I thread up the needle for backstitching the dress I can do that in between. The weather says more rain today so digging out the compost heap has been cancelled and indoors jobs like stitching are called for,
I am trying to ignore the joys of housework.

housework is much overrated - and good idea to alternate more straightforward bits of stitching with the more intricate (partial stitches) or dull (backstitching) parts.

She is absolutely gorgeous! I am so jealous of how much progress you make on your stitching. Maybe I’d get more done if I stepped away from my iPad. Hmmm….
