Another very pretty update!

Thank you. There's five more crosses need putting into that lantern, but I'm working on the backstitch until I com to them as they're right in the top corner and it means starting a new length of thread.

I love how the backstitch seems to pull everything together and make something out of the confetti.

the backstitch certainly gives it depth

Is that what it is? I've been calling it grapes, even though I know it's not grapes

It's one of my favourite shrubs, Angel, so I'd recognise it anywhere

. In Dutch it is known as "blue rain" (laburnum is known as "golden rain") and I once tried to grow one from a seed, but although it had leaves it never produced flowers.

It's a beautiful flower. I googled it. Thank you for letting me know what it was ^_^ It's a shame yours didn't flower.
