I feel like I&#8217;ve worked on it a lot! Too much! Without a ton of progress to show. I wish I could just sit and work on it for hours and hours! Oh well! I LOVE the colors. It just gleams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, here are more butterfly wings from the Casket Keepsakes of Amy Mitten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/img_5171.jpg?resize=640%2C456&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4107\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve worked on 3 more wings, with one of them finished! But horrors! I have run out of one of the threads! Fortunately, I can purchase more from Amy Mitten\u2019s website but I hope the colors will match well enough. My kit is old!  I will not order the thread until I see if I am going to run out of anything else! This stitches like a micro version of the Bargello. So. Much. Satin. Stitching. I am doing all this satin stitching without a laying tool because I&#8217;m lazy, and I don&#8217;t know how to use one efficiently, and because I hold my hoop so I don\u2019t have an extra hand to lay with. However, I just bought a used floor stand clamp thing. I should try to build it so I can rig up these projects and speed them up by using 2 hands. Upon opening the box I see it is just a pile of wood pieces and screws so it looks like a Project, and I&#8217;d rather stitch than figure out how to build it. Maybe I should put my son in charge of it! Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have progress to show you!
