Scissor Progress

I have finished the heart shape by adding the rest of the black Kreinik.  Next, I did a chain stitch around the handles of the scissors with silver and then whip stitched the chain with the blue/silver.  Next, I laid the #16 Kreinik on the scallops and couched them with #4 Kreinik.  On the lower left, I have started doing a Skip Tent stitch for the background.  I am still trying to decide how much I want to do and also what this piece will become.

I don't know if you can find a Sudberry Sharon's box (they have been discontinued) but they are perfect for things like this and also make a nice box to put your laying tools, scissors, etc. in at your stitching table.
