Snooty Parrots Progress

Lately, I've been spending my time with Snooty Parrots.  I'm pleased to report I've finished my March assignment already this month.  This one is such a joy to stitch and I love the colors in it.

January/February progress as of 2/16/14
 
 
March progress as of 3/10/14
 
I actually got to start this installment on the 1st this time.  I stitched both Saturday and Sunday weekend before last and a good bit of this past Sunday on it.  I had was determined to finish it up Monday night as I didn't have that much left to go.  I even stitched a wee bit ahead on those lower case letters.  I had to finish up that thread dontcha know!
 

Here's a closer look at the March section.  I really love that pot of flowers!  I can't decide what the round flowers are supposed to be.  Carnations? Morning glories?  Maybe a Tudor rose?  I love the rhubarb and cranberry colors together.  It took me a while to figure out what that little gold critter was too.  A friend of mine told me it's a lion.  I knew it had to be a cat of some sort based on the tail.  LOL!
 
Now I have to put it aside for another month.  I could be tempted to work ahead but I won't.  I have a some pre-stitching for a class project coming up soon so I know that will keep me busy for a little bit.  Hopefully it will go quickly.  As all of us stitchers know, there's never a lack for things to stitch. It's the choosing that takes some doing sometimes.
 
Well, it's short and sweet today folks.  Thanks for stopping by and do come visit again!
 
Until next time,
 
The Inspired Stitcher

Your Snooty Parrots are looking wonderful, Lisa! I have got to get busy on April's assignment or I'm going to get really behind and I HATE that! I put a few stitches in the pinkeep drum today so hopefully, I'll be ready for class, too!
See you soon!

looks great Lisa - YGG !! Glad you finished March with so much time to spare on other things. I have picked the "snotty" (yep I meant that) parrots again. I am so far behind I can't be excited any more but I will press onward and maybe I can catch up or at least not totally lose interest.
enjoy! Mel
