I’ve had a lazy day sat in front of the goggle box today – no Christmas ornies completed, but I do have one other very happy dance! I’ve managed to finish off my Sunflower Sampler – I was surprised how long it’s taken me to get the final bands finished, but finally it’s off the scroll bars … that block roll will have a new resident for a while 🙂
Unfortunately the photos are grotty again, as it’s early evening and I can never get a good shot at night 😦

Here are a few closer photos of the individual bands:
I think this very last ‘triangular’ band is my absolute favourite of the whole piece … followed by the house and birds.
I just love the beading accents on this piece, it really brings it to life a bit more 🙂
Now is the big decision what to stitch next … I have no major urges to start anything in particular, so goodness knows what I’ll come up with … I’d offer a poll to help make a decision, but WordPress won’t allow polls (one of the very few things that is annoying about WP – everything else I much prefer over Blogger). Never mind, I’m sure I’ll come up with something to stitch over the next week! 😉
