Very neatly stitched, like colour contrasts

The purple splash fabric goes well with the thread. Nicely stitched

The Tree is beautiful and that fabric is beautiful, the swirls are so lovely.
It is hard to get anything done in the heat isn't it. I cannot imagine 47c no, not at all.
I hope the humidity dies down soon.

It hasn't been a bad couple of days heat wise, (or should I say humidity wise) but can't stitch. While slicing up scallions I took a hunk out of my finger (and you can imagine what that felt like=onions hurt), the one I use for stitching

, so now I can't hold a needle. Lord I am a danger to myself, I also dropped my cane and it hit my toe, and it's a bloody mess too. Can't leave me alone.

Oh Linda, so sorry to hear about your accidents!

I keep hitting my legs against tables etc.. They look like school kids ones
It is so annoying, isn't it?
Sending lots of healing vibes your way!

Finally got something done today. Not much but it's a start.. Was cool this morning then the rain stopped and the sun came out and created a lovely

sauna. So it's humid again. Finger finally healed nicely. Kept bumping it on things. I love this camera on my new iPad. Takes brilliant pictures. And I figured out how to edit.

Stitching is done. Just have to add beads. (hands hurt so tomorrow will do that) Then frame or do some other finish.

Beading all done. Just have to figure out how to finish it off. Have to ship it and so glass may get broken and damage the stitching.

Outstanding, absolutely outstanding
I love everything about this piece, the fabric is gorgeous, the stitching is perfect and the beads add so much sparkle.
It is beautiful, well done indeed, especially as you had a poorly wounded finger to stitch some of it with.
I hope you find a way to ship it, would Plexiglass work? the plastic "glass" I mean.

That is amazingly beautiful. The fabric is so pretty and sets off the stitching perfectly!
I know its a bit more expensive, but when I have sent framed pieces with glass through the mail, I either wrap in in bubble wrap before using the shipping paper or take it to the UPS store and have them wrap it. Of if the size is small enough send it in one of the mailing wraps that has the bubble wrap already in it.
