One happy bug

 I needed a day away from goldwork, so I filled in the grasshopper on Amy Mitten's Casket Keepsake.

I didn't realize until I stitched in the colors on his face that he's smiling. I was delighted to realize he was happy!

Today is goldwork day. I plan to finish the last two motifs, and the work for Term 1 of the Deep Dive into Goldwork class will be complete.While what I've stitched so far is not perfect, I know where I need to improve, so all is good.

For the next few days, I'm going to be setting up my hoops and frames for the next term in both deep dive classes and Katie's Valentine, and I'm going to work on Dear Heart in the evenings.

If I can tear myself away from this adorable bug.
