Here is where I was last time.
I finished the berries at the top, and did the two leaves I'd missed under the parrots' tails. Then I started working on the left hand parrot. I was looking forward to using the lovely blues and reds on the birds... it hasn't happened yet!
Here's a closer look at the parrots and those two leaves. As you can see, I never actually finished the right hand leaf - it's a good thing I take these photos or I wouldn't notice these things!

wow this is stunning, and so neat. I have also done the "spot it in the photo" thing. One piece I stitched a while back, I was thrilled to finish and it was not until the finished pictures went onto my blog, I noticed that two lambs in the picture had no legs. Oops the happy dance had to stop until I corrected that lol.
I love those little acorns :-) This is going to be amazing when it's finished.
those leaves are really beautiful Wendy, and it's lovely to see you've made a start on a Parrot.
You are making great progress. Love this picture. I did crewel once and found it wasn't for me but I love seeing it done by others
I know what you mean about details you don't notice in 'real' life showing up in photographs. I've had the same experience. It can be helpful, but it can also be frustrating! Looking forward to seeing some feathers on those birds!
Looking great wendy. It's going to really come to life when you add the blue and red
It's the sort of design where it's easy to miss something. So many different elements. We'll just have to hope for some bright parrot colours next time :-)
beautiful work..... it's lookin wonderful...

Love this project Wendy and you are making great progress! Have a good week! Christine x
Taking a photo is the embroiderer's equivalent of copy-editing, isn't it!
Whenever I see your crewel work I'm thinking I would love to try it too. But I have the feeling that I'm not patient enough for such delicate and intricate work. It looks fantastic!
This is coming along really well.
It looks amazing! You're doing a lovely job :D
Beautiful!
You are doing a great job with this embroidery!
You're making great progress! xx
I'm so pleased to see this again, great to see the progress on it. Happy stitching
Gorgeous shading on your leaves, both finished and unfinished!
this is coming along so well. Do you watch Phillipa on create and craft at all?
