Except for the body and the antennae, my butterfly is stitched.
Most of it was done while I was watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics this afternoon. I had a brief and fleeting thought that perhaps I should try to stitch a motif for each day of the Olympics, but I stomped that idea flat.
Stitching plans never work for me, as we all know.
Anyway, I had four threaded needles going, plus all the strands of gold passing thread which then had to be plunged to the back and sewn down. By the time I finished doing all that, I felt like I had competed in the Olympics.
I may look for something really simple to stitch tonight, something definitely non-Olympic.
Your work is always so very beautiful, this is really lovely. I hope that the second bookcase doesn't cause you any more back problems........good luck with that! I look forward to seeing how many projects you manage during olympics, Elaine in UK
ReplyDeleteThank you for those kind words--I appreciate them.
DeleteActually, I avoided "helping" with this bookcase other than staying completely out of the way. I have learned my lesson!
And we'll see how much I can stitch while the competitions are going on. Who knew kayak slalom racing could be so fascinating!
The butterfly looks beautiful , enjoy your weekend , hugs June.
