Almost Finished...

I made good progress on my retreat piece today. The stitching for the strawberry fob and the pinkeep are done; I have a little more ribbon embroidery and beadwork to do on the pincushion. I may leave this final little bit for next weekend; I'm antsy to do some plain old cross stitch!

The strawberry...



The pincushion...the remaining beadwork and ribbon embroidery will go along the outside edge...



And the pinkeep...




Very tired - did some spring cleaning today - washed windows and vacuumed under furniture that hadn't been moved in awhile. I'm pooped!

Thanks for stopping by!

    Just lovely, the ribbon flowers and the bargello part too. I love doing bargello, but I also know what you mean about just regular cross stitch. CJ in OK ;-)

    Lovely stitching! We had this project at our retreat in NH and it looks like you won't have much left to stitch at your retreat. :)I hope you have a wonderful time.

    Beautiful stitching Cathy! Such a wonderful mix of stitches!

    Way to go on getting a jump on the spring cleaning! I have so much to do yet and I just get overwhelmed when I think of all of it. I know... one thing at a time, lol!
