Still on track - Butterfly Lace Mandala

Good morning all, It’s been a while since I joined you but in reality I’ve had nothing much to share, despite my needle still flying behind the scenes.

As a consequence of concentrating on my Chatelaine this month, I’ve had to pass on Cross Stitch Camp for August and skip my 12 in 24 Christmas ornament, but I'll try and catch up with that one later, so I'm not one short come December.

Anyway, the last time you saw my Chatelaine,  I had just started working on one of the big 1 over 1 butterflies, which is now finished.

I then worked on the final butterfly and the corner ornament, meaning all the actual stitching is finished.

At this point I was beginning to realise that I could never be a permanent monogamous stitcher.  I was getting withdrawal symptoms and was longing to pick up all my other wips.

I’m being strong though and haven’t given in. Lol!

For the last eight days I have been doing the beading, adding even more sparkle.  I am nearly at the half way mark so should be on track for my September finish, all being well.

Happy Stitching!
