Perhaps you're giving me too much credit here 😂, but yes, I put a lot of thought into making it work.

Thank you! I'm glad that came through. I needed to have some way of distinguishing the reflection from the 'real' thing.

Not so far off, given that they're both green! 💚😊

I used to cross stitch, but I was too slow at it. I prefer the 'speed' of embroidery (though it is hardly a fast hobby) 😊

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I'm glad it's a nice change ❤️

Thank you, I plan to ❤️

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thank you!

This is the 2nd butterfly I've made in as many weeks. I'll probably move on to something else for a while, but it never lasts too long. I love making moths and butterflies! 🦋

I don't know how you make these 😂😂

It's one of my favorite patterns. I've done several pieces on it. It's called Thatched by Moda fabrics

Thank you! That's the great thing about this technique, the way you can get such a realistic effect 🦋

Thank you! My goal is to keep making them until I have no wall space left to display them 😊

Thank you!

It's better than another one I've accidentally typed, which is longwong 😂

Autocorrect failed me. It's a longwing butterfly

Thank you so much ❤️

She's a great sister so we're even 😊

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

I like adding my own special twist 😁

Thank you!

I love to fall asleep to it at night with the windows open 🥰

I would agree! But it's nice to have grand dreams, too 😊

Thank you so much! 🥹

May the best vision you have for yourself come true 🐸👑
