This will be a fine piece of embroidery when complete.

Part twelve didn't take long. There's just one more mouse. He's encouraging the first one to escape from that owl.



There's also a beetle peeking out from the log. There's another beetle to the far left. He's running off and is almost at the edge of the design. I can't say I'm usually that keen on beetles, or any creepy crawlies, but these weren't too bad. I did them in a bit of left over silk from the same kit as the silk that I did the mice in.



I'm all caught up again now but I suspect that the next part will be available very soon. Can't wait. I'm loving this

This is so pretty and you are doing such a great job. It shows that you love doing it. How many parts are there to the whole design?

I'm not surprised!! There's so much going on to keep your interest!

Beautiful neat stitching!

I nearly signed up for this one, too but chickened out once I started the TOS!

Seeing yours progress is the next best thing though!

Thank you
I've no idea how many parts it's going to be split into. There's quite a bit more to do - flowers, a sign post, a spider, the moon and more. So much fun

Such a nifty design!!!!!

Looks amazing!

Great work, and such fun animals!

Wonderful project!! You are doing so well with it

Wonderful! Each part makes it look better.

I love the colours you have chosen for this one....and your stitching looks absolutley perfect.....well done Can't wait to see part 13!

I am loving your updates too, this is such an interesting one. Great stitching and just love it all.

your work on this is so perfect! i'm glad you like doing it...it really shows.

i guess this makes you a master stitcher!!!

I completely missed part thirteen being released so this is a bit late getting done. I now have flowers in the moonlight though. I've done them in two slightly different off-white shades, using overdyes.



The lower flower is Star stitch and the upper one is Tied Windmill stitch. Both were easy enough to do, but time consuming as I was trying to get the threads to lay flat and parallel, plus I'm a bit obsessive about double-checking to get the placement right. I have just ordered a trolley needle which I'm hoping will speed up and help when it comes to this type of stitch.

I'm just about to start part fourteen so I'll post a pic of the whole thing when I do the next update in a couple of days.

that is lovely. I love both the stitches but the tied windmill is so dainty I really like it a lot.

Really awesome work!!!!!!!!

Awwww. I love this owl! Your stitching is fabulous!
