Princess Bubbles Creates

I really like this piece.  It is so much prettier in real life.  The camera just wasn't capturing the colors properly.  I hate when that happens.  I made rather large fabric bead, lower right, and needed to find a way to use it.  The bead reminded me of a cocoon.  I added a number of other experiments that coordinated with it. 

I have added some ribbon embroidery to this block.  I love ribbon embroidery!  I used the pistil stitch which I just learned how to do.  It always good to practice as then it really sticks in my head. Thanks to Sharon B at http://pintangle.com/   for organizing Work in Progress Wednesday as it is really helping me move forward.

This is a new stitch for me.  However the buttonhole stitch is not new to me so I found this very easy to do.  I stitched into a circle shape.  I quite like the way it turned out and will definitely use this stitch now that I know how to do it.

I added the lace motif to the lower left.  I also added the crocheted flower and button in the upper right.  Plus I added some cream lace on the upper edge of the ribbon embroidery.  This block is definitely getting closer to done!

This is a cast on stitch that Sharon B at http://pintangle.com/ introduced me to.  I really like this stitch!  I think I need to try more cast on stitches!  They are super cool!  I will definitely be adding more to this piece. 

Yay!  It feels good to be done early.  I have even started on my block for October!  I am loving being a part of this project.  It is forcing me to get the work done and that feels good.  Deadlines really help me stay on top of things.
