I have had another play around with my butterfly... It seems to be the one that 'speaks' to me the most these days either that or I have really no expectation of its outcome - so I am more willingly to have a go - so to speak...
I finished the wings with a soft lilac. And I am unsure whether to 'paint' the inside of the wing stitching with waterclour pencils. I created those little flowers using some beads I found in the $2 shop but although I am happy what they look like per say I think they detract from the 'simple' stitching lines of the butterfly. The green stalky things were again a play around and are not finished either..
I am going to wash and iron it before I attempt anything else and remove all the 'guidelines'. Perhaps with a 'fresh' canvas I will decide comes next.
Again I have used my stitching book for ideas and I am so impressed (i) that I am actually using it rather than having just another 'picture book' to look at and (ii) that it has such clear instructions and I am finding it so helpful, to not only assist me with stitches, but to also generate other ideas...
My bag of fun challenge - remains just that - a challenge. Although playing around with my heart has helped consolidated more ideas. As the ticker ticks away at the top of my page I am starting to panic a little. But I always have been an 11th hour gal - I work well under pressure...

Beautiful work, can tell you have put a lot of love into the butterfly. Hope your surgery goes well and you are posting again real soon.... I will be visiting often!
I love your needlework. The butterfly is lovely and I like the idea of the watercolor pencils. I'll check back to see what you decide. I think it would balance your flowers nicely. (which are impressive). I'll have to look for your stitching book in a previous post. I've enjoyed visiting, its always a treat to meet a new blogger friend. Blessings to you!
Hi Sharlee,
Just wanted to let you know I am adding my prayers to everyone else’s for your healing.
Your butterfly is coming along very nicely…
Hugs,

Thank you very much for the birthday wishes - I hope you had a good day too. Mine was pretty rubbish so I decided I will have the day before as my birthday this year as that was a peach of a day :)
