Embroidery is finished!

I did end up outlining the crescents, because it just bugged me way too much not to, with all the other blue parts outlined.

I think my satin stitching is improving! Mostly thanks to a new crewel book I got that described how to angle your stitches for the best effect. It really helped me with control and keeping my shapes tidy.
Today I'll sew the pillow. And since I'm still waiting for ribbon swatch cards to continue my skirt projects, after that I'm going to start my new embroidery piece! Yay!
Also, winter is happening here and it's beautiful. We got about 4" of snow and I had a great time playing in it and shoveling all weekend. I love winter!
