Progress Worth Sharing...

I've finally accomplished enough stitching on the bluebird in flight to be able to share it with you. Sunday was a real needle dancing day, and after about six hours, this is where I finished for the day.

The female is more dull in color than the male, so I chose less vivid colors, even as I went with a saturated look. The white on her abdomen is padding I haven't covered yet. That's next. I'll work on the wings after that.

Here's a closeup with my finger to give you a size reference. I've managed to cover about 1.5" of my bird so far. I know. Things always look larger on the internet. lol

My niece and her daughter are coming today for an overnight with their aunty and uncle. We're planning a baking day (their request), and then we'll have homemade pizza tonight. My great-niece will even be able to make her very own personal pizza like I used to do with her mama. You're likely to get kitchen photos (and a posed one or two) tomorrow. 

They should be here any minute, so I'm going to get our projects set up. I hope you have a great day as we begin Thanksgiving week in the United States. We have so much to be grateful for in our home this year. I'll see you tomorrow!
