Stitch by stitch

Can you see the difference? I can see the difference another hour or so makes. I bet you can't! And you're probably getting tired about seeing this but it's all about the process for me. In between making muffins and lunch and visiting, I've managed an hour or so of cutting and stitching.

I've stitched down most of the leaves and the berries.

And I've started to add highlights to the berries.

Still more to be done but mostly thread work. I think I'm done adding fabric.

 When I'm in the middle of it this is what my studio looks like.

It's really not very messy. I tend to clean up as I go.
Here's another view through the window as I sit at my machine.

You can just spy a few goldfinches on the feeder.
I'm sharing one more picture of yesterday's bluejay. He looks quite indignant here I think.
