Tiny Needle Tuesday

 

Thanks to a rainy Saturday I made some headway on a few projects. Village Quaker got a Mayan pyramid looking thingy mostly done on the bottom. I still have some leafy flowery things to put on each side before I can move on. 

That green tea leaf on the Tea Sampler got finished. It doesn't look like much but there's a lot of stuff going on in it. Not a fan. This project just might NOT turn out to be my cup of tea after all-ahem. 

Miss Sheep wasn't exactly smooth sailing either. I had to switch up colors because she faded into the fabric. Instead of a white sheep I'm going to have a dirty one. I've seen white sheep up close so I know my darker version is much more on the nose. All that's missing is the smell but I admit I kinda like it. I miss having a dirty fleece to wash. 

And finally....that border box gave me FITS. The small one on the bottom that I finished had to be stitched THREE TIMES before I got it right. First, I used the wrong color. Then I put it in the wrong place. AND THEN I miscounted so it was two rows short which I didn't discover until I had already started the motif in the center. 

Some days it doesn't pay to even pick up a needle.
