Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
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.

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
Well, your enthusiasm is producing something much more decorative than ravaged sunflowers !

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
My birds are so messy that I have sunflowers all over the garden anyway!
Lovely stitching, as always. You are really flying through this.

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
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.

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
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.

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
housework is much overrated - and good idea to alternate more straightforward bits of stitching with the more intricate (partial stitches) or dull (backstitching) parts.

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
Housework is one of those tasks which Never gets completed!! Best avoided until the Dust Bunnies get to knee deep then Panic measures take over. Quick blitz and relax!
Question??? Why are Dust Bunnies always grey??
So, That conundrum over ...on to your Pretty Fairy, Jo Looking Good!!

I had to look up Dust Bunnies I found this fun: https://www.cbc.ca/kids/games/play/dust-bunnies
I have finished backstitching her dress:
Back to the leaves

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
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….
