A Little Birdie Happy Dance


I started this yesterday and finished it today. This is a very different style for me and I really like it! It's by Elizabeth's Designs. It was a freebie, but I couldn't find where I got it from. I've never done the stitch on the leaves before. (Is that a satin stitch? I don't even know!) But I think I did pretty good on them. I haven't decided yet how I am going to finish this. Maybe a little ornament to hang somewhere in my home?
I had a pretty good day subbing today. A couple of the classes were a little difficult to control, but they finally got with the program and settled down. I'm working at the same school again tomorrow. I like to go to this school.
I am extremely tired. I couldn't go to sleep last night until after 2:30 am and then I had to get up at 6:30. When I haven't subbed in a few days, I get very excited or anxious or something and then I have trouble falling asleep. So I'm doing this post and heading straight to bed. I hope I sleep better tonight. Have a happy day and may God bless you!

Lovely little finish, it would make a good ornament. I think that is a satin stitch

I think it's called a leaf stitch, but it's really just a series of satin stitches. It turned out beautifully! What a lovely pick-me-up for you. :)

Congrats on your little robin finish. I love your Snowpeople. I have deleted my post too, then I have either said forget or I made it short. I hope you get some sleep. Thanks for visiting my blog. I look forward to more of your stitching.
