Cherry Chocolate


I am embarrassed by how long this has been sitting in my stash.  I bought several of Melissa Shirley's candies to stitch and then other pieces took over.  Time to get these done.  This is the cherry chocolate and the Neon Rays is all in place.

I am back!


Been a little crazy here of late, but I am back to getting some stitching time.  I ripped out all the gold Coronet as I ran out.  I have replaced it all with Treasure Braid and moved on to filling in the black with Petite Very Velvet.  Oh, and I remember that working on black even in broad daylight is not my fav!
