More than half

I figure I am now more than half way through the flower!   This is going pretty quickly!

More petals

Worked a lot more petals today and all of the sequins and beads are in place on all the petals.

Flower Center

All done!  I finished up the entire beaded center.  I am going to work more background sequins and bead and then resume stitching petals next.

Beading away

It is going to snow today!  It has been such a balmy December in Michigan, but snow is on the way and maybe some freezing rain too.  I decided to stay inside!  I am beading the center of the flower and making great progress!  About half done!

The Flower center

 I did a bit more on the petals on the left and added more sequins and beads to a lot more of the other petals. The center of the flower was calling out and I started beading the center.....it will all be beads and crystals.

From my house

to yours!  Merry Christmas Everyone!

Top left

The top left portion of the pointsettia is stitched!  I notice more sequins show up in this photo.

Petals, petals

The petals are filling in fast!

Flower Petals

I am working on the flower petals!  3 colors for the petals, two for the sequins and beads.

Busy, Busy!

I can certainly tell it is Holiday Season!  Things are really busy at my house as  I am sure they are at yours!  I am stitching a little bit but not much to show you right now.  I did finish this custom stitch guide for a gal and it is available if you are looking for one.  Tombstone Tish is by Leigh Designs and is  number 5015.    Details are on the tab for guides above.

Meanwhile, I am off to cook and clean and wrap presents again!  Back soon with an update on the stocking!

Starting the petals

The top half zig zags are done.  The top set of berries are done, and I have started working on the poinsettia petals.  I had one stitch in mind that did not work so I did the ripit stitch and have restarted!

Down to the flower

The zig zags are done down to the top of the flower and I added a couple more berries.

Another vine

I have added more rows of zig zags in black and white and the next vine is all stitched.

Zigging & Zagging

I am working down the body of the stocking and stitching in the zigs and the zags!  All the berries and vines are done in the top left of the stocking too.

The cuff

The cuff is finished!  I added the first row of the black zig zag pattern as well.
