So hey, I finished the Happy Apple:
(Click on the pic to get to my Flickr, where you can view the photos individually if you'd like.)
I took my friend Amy's advice and added a white french knot to each eye. They are twinkly and cute as can be. Thanks, Amy! :)
I decided against giving her a nose. After I re-stitched her mouth, I was pleased with her face just as it was. Also, I left the bee's wings alone. I couldn't bear the thought of changing them. Ok, I couldn't bear the thought of frogging them.
I guess that's it for now. Oh, except one thing: Have I told you how much you rock, my bloggy friends? 'Cause you do! I am so grateful for your kind comments and stitchy advice. I am still kinda surprised that there are people out there that actually read my humble little blog. Thank you! *kiss-kiss*
Well, that's it for me. I will back soon with more stitchy goodness. Until then...
Happy Stitching!

This turned out so cute! I love seeing your finished projects.
Funny how using just a few different colors makes it look all together different from the one I did. I like how yours turned out!
Kristi - I LOVE this happy little apple and her bee buddy! Too cute!!!
Ok, now that is just precious! I adore vintage embroidery, another thing on my long long looooong list of things I want to tackle. And thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog recently! I was starting to think nobody loved me!
i agree with the eyes, your embroidery blog is my absolute fave <3
Very cute! Funny how much difference something like adding a white french knot to the eyes can make -- but that sure makes them pop. I'm logging that idea away for future use.
I'm a sucker for adding a twinkle to the eyes, and I'm flattered that you took my suggestion! She looks absolutely wonderful, Kristi. <3
Love your embroidery! Your stitches are so even and smooth; you are so talented!
Thanks for sharing.

look awesome, that little french knot twinkle makes all the difference!
did you get to go the fabric store yet to buy some new fabric for the pillow back?
I am a painter and always taught people to add the "twinkle" in the eye's with paint, never thought of it in embroidery! So cute! Love your work!
