Why does summer move so fast? Suddenly it's mid (late?) August and Labor Day (the traditional end of summer in the US) is right around the corner.
In an attempt to show him to Kaffe Fassett when he's in town in October, I started stitching lovely Mr. Frog on his lily pad:
It's always so hard to see on needlepoint canvas (especially printed canvas!), but I've done a bit of work around the edge of the lily pad, the "shadow" behind the frog, as well as all the brown and the two darkest greens. I still worry about being able to spot the difference between the two lightest greens, but maybe when I get the middle green done it will be more obvious.
I decided there was no point in worrying, yet, about the background. There's a LOT of frog still to be stitched! By our next check in, I hope to have most of the frog stitched. I'm working on the confetti stitching now; relatively soon I'll have larger expanses. More boring, I guess, but less "I wonder what color that should be?"
Great progress, he's a very handsome frog!
ReplyDeleteLovely ! And I think we can tell where you've made progress although it's not as obvious then on aida.
ReplyDeletegosh, when you zoom in, there's a lot of stitching involved in this frog!
ReplyDeleteThe background will be so much easier and faster to stitch. In the meantime we can all watch this beautiful frog grow :-)
ReplyDeleteOh he's looking splendid! We had a small frog on our deck yesterday and he hopped right up and onto the arm of a friend visiting and just sat there for a few minutes :)
ReplyDeleteHe’s looking great Sunny! You are really zooming along!
