Progress, my plan and Morris

I can see the end of  critters in sight and hope to have the majority of them  done next week and I do have a plan...  All the critters are done with single thread DMC floss.  I always have two critters going at once.. I just love the woodpecker.    All get their feet and beaks when appliqued.  When I started using single threads it seemed like it would take forever but now I love it...  In fact when I use two threads for seams it feels so bulky...
Plan:  I will start in earnest on the seams on the beck panel..  and it has a LOT of seams and will probably take most of September to finish...  Then I will have most of October to do the beading, extra stitching, and assembly...  I will probably be stitching right up until I leave.
 
No matter where I'm working Morris is beside me...  He barely raises his head when I go to get coffee or food, but if I pick up my little jambox speaker (for Pandora) he hops right up because he knows we are changing work sites.  I adore my dog...

thanks for mentioning that you use just one floss strand. My pup, Bosco, who weighs 90# at just 10 months, stays by my side too. If I leave the room I tell him to stay here, I'll be right back. I love my dogs too!

Such beautifully stitched birds, I so agree one strand works to perfection, wonder if the house finch has returned home yet or is he still absent without leave

I am always in awe of your embroidered birds. They are so life-like. And who wouldn't adore Morris - he is sooooo cute.

Your birds are gorgeous!
My dog follows me all over the house too; rests on the shower mat while I'm showering, follows me outside when I step out, and if I'm too scattered, will sit centrally located in the hall to keep tabs on me from one spot. Cannot imagine life without a dog...

I miss my corgi, my lucky Penny (she was a red and white fluffy). We had her for 15 short years. They are great dogs.

I love your birds. I have to start practicing...
