Hollyhocks and Doilies




....what?? Well, I started the hollyhocks in the corners of my Fairy Garden. I filled in all four corner motifs and began to move outward again. Yeah!! Those hollyhocks are going to take some time with all the color changes going on in them. But the doilies...I really do like working on them. One color thread and just keep going!


Now those dragonflies nestle in between all the stitches of the doilies.....Can I hold off much longer?
I really want to try and get at least two of those hollyhocks done, before I move on again.

This is looking incredible. I don't know how you can hold off on those dragonflies. I know that I couldn't, but then again, I'm all into that instant gratification thing. Beautiful progress.
