Slow Stitching Sunday

I did manage to get a bit of stitching done on this piece this week. Banksy is a pretty active puppy and needs a fair amount of attention so stitching time is a bit rare. I like how this piece is coming along but I am wondering about the big blue flowers beads at the bottom. I may remove them as I am not really sure they work. I probably will add more stitching and beading before making up my mind though. Christmas is in the air. We went to a tree farm yesterday and cut down a small tree. At least for us, it is smaller than what we usually get. It makes sense this year with a new puppy in the house. I love a live tree and the pretty scent that fills our home. The extended family gathered for this little event since it was outside. I am imagining that is the only time we will see everyone this year. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
