I really did stitch on the panda as much as I could work through on my own. I did! I did! Later this afternoon I will spend a few more wonderful hours with Susan Porta and we finish up all the burning questions that I have left. When I get I home I will stitch and stitch and I have promised myself that I will not venture out of the house until the last stitch has been stitched!

So I decided that I need to keep working on getting things finished, well within reason now! The last heart from Needle Deeva was 15 minutes from being ready for the finishers. I just needed to decide what to do about the leaves and being that they are only about 5 stitches each of 3 different shades of green and the fact that all those color changes in a small area drive me absolutely crazy…I decided to take the background color of the Accentuate and stitch right over the leaves. The flower in her hair needed a few more tacking stitches too. As much as I would have loved to have just found a bauble for her hat, I took the challenge and created the flower with 2 colors of 7mm River Silk.

The cats were pleased with me too yesterday as the 3 of us snuggled on the couch watching some baseball, well I watched baseball, while they watched the birds. and until next time…keep on stitching
