going buggy

 I seem to be fascinated by bugs at the moment.

My little bee needs her wings, but the turkey work is finished and clipped. I see a few spots that I could trim a little more, but there comes a point at which you can get carried away. I do not need or want a bald bee, so I think I'm going to leave her alone. Other than stitching her gauzy wings, of course.

My caterpillar now has its grass completed. I have to do some outlining--including a section done with peacock feathers!!!!--and then this section of the project will be done.

However, lest you think I've gone completely bug-nutz, I did fix my flame stitch section and started filling it in.

I love the brocade effect the stitches give this bargello pattern, but I've found I do need to watch the chart to make sure I'm doing it correctly.

Which leads me to this dilemma . . . I have several Zoom things coming up, and none of the things in my current workbasket lend themselves to stitching and talking, not even the bargello pattern. 

I believe this gives me permission to start something else.

Like I need permission to start another project!
