Okay, another update!
The stitching on the bottom half is now complete.
I just have to finish the top half and then do all the beading.
Here's a full view:
And here's a close up of some of the details:
Don't you just love the headless ladybugs!
(the heads will be black beads once I get that far)
Thanks for looking and for all you're wonderful comments!

Beautiful. I agree with Rose about headless bugs, but Ladybugs keep other icky bugs away so I guess they need their heads. Good thing you don't seem to mind beading. I would have had to figure out something else like a big french knot and it wouldn't look nearly as great as yours will. I think you'll be done on time, even if you have to wait to get it framed.
