Mellerstain Parrots #4

As I'm now feeling loads better, I've joined in with the SAL again and continued working on the Mellerstain Parrots by the Crewelwork Company.

 Here's where I was last time I checked in (November?)

Really blurry picture there!

 Here's where I am now

I've completed all the acorns and oak leaves at the bottom - except I haven't !  I've just spotted that there is a leaf poking out behind each parrot's tail!

OK, so I've NEARLY completed all the acorns and oak leaves!  

I also did some of the berries at the top.  I'd like to get these berries and leaves finished for the next check in - then on to the parrots themselves!
I'm stitching along as part of a SAL where we all work on our WIPs, you can go and see what the other participants have been up to here:

    Wow, loads done! I'd never have noticed the leaves behind the tails unless you'd pointed it out - you could have got away with sneaking them in when you did the birds!

    It's lovely to see you again :-) I laughed out loud when you spotted the extra leaf. It's a beautiful piece.

    Welcome back! Crewel is one of those things I love to look at, but haven't had much success with. Your stitches and shading are beautiful. I'm inspired!

    There's always a bit that goes AWOL, isn't there! Never mind, you'll soon reel in the last two leaves and get on the next bit you want to do!
