RED EYE

I failed to mention a pattern change.
BLACKBIRD DESIGNS SUMMER OFFERING ... I made a change of my own with this pattern.
As following pattern directions for the eye I kept looking at the eye and not liking what I was seeing. I decided to think about what I wanted to do.

As I stitched the red berries it came to me... a red eye!
So I quickly changed to a red eye and I really liked how it looked. I feel the red eye and the red berries pulled from each other.

Another thought I had was to do a few beads on the berries but decided to move on. You know how it goes ... after stitching on a pattern for awhile you are ready to finish and start a new pattern.

With all said...I like the red eye!!

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN..
HAPPY STITCHING

UPDATE

At last pictures of BLACKBIRD DESIGNS SUMMER OFFERING has been added.
Please scroll down to previous blog posting.
I framed SUMMER OFFERING with a black frame from Michael's.
I must say I am very pleased.

Moving on to HALLOWEEN BOY, pattern by LEISURE ARTS BOOK, HOLIDAY REVERIE.
This pattern has been a struggle for me. I am in the clouds and soon will be in the haystacks. I am so ready to get into new color of floss which looks like Halloween.
Once I get to stitch the pumpkins then I will feel like I am into Halloween.

LEISURE ARTS patterns are fun, colorful and with many challenges.
They are never boring so no fear of falling asleep while stitching.

HAPPY STITCHING!
