Excellent start

The idea of a cherry blossom tree sounds quite lovely as well. Looking forward to your next update

I just learned the Smyrna stitch!

Whew, had to concentrate! No listening to audio books during that. The instructions are great, though.

My very first French Knots!

I was going to attempt to capture the real colors today by photographing it in sunlight. Alas, we're having one of the few cloudy days in Arizona! The French Knots are burgundy.

Abi said to not worry too much about placement and to take "artistic license" which I really appreciate because I had no idea how placement would turn out with these little critters. I'm so OCD, I'd have been very unhappy had she not said that. She's a really good teacher.

So, they're kind of uneven, but so is nature, so I'm telling myself it is very treelike.

Great update! How many strands did you use? They look rich!

Are these really your first french knots? They're great!

Love the colour - can't believe these are your first french knots!

Looks beautiful Raine, brilliant french knots. Wish I had that kind of natural talent

great stitching. I can't believe those are your first french knots. With practice you won't even think about them. Love your tree. Can't wait to see what is next.
