I needed to find some TV to watch to make some actual progress on the bee, but in the last few days I’ve added a few stitches. Last time:

Image of a counted cross-stitch project in progress. At the bottom, the head and front leg of a bee is visible, followed by the upper outline of a wing going 45 degrees upward towards the right. Above that, there's background in the form of honeycomb cells in yellows and oranges. At the top, a little blue flower finishes the area. There's unworked background in the upper right.

There will be a lot of unstructured colour in the upper right corner, but all in the gorgeous yellows, oranges and reds that make this piece so appealing to me. Here’s today’s picture:

In-progress picture of a counted cross-stitch picture of a bee. Shown is the right side of head and feelers, with the front edge of the right wing going diagonally upwards. Above that, a piece of honeycomb leading into partly-stitched unstructured background.

Lots more colour ahead in the corner, and I’m looking forward to finish it and then work my way down.

Here are the other members of the SAL who are posting today. Make sure to check out their work, it’s amazing: Avis, Claire, Gun, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Heidi, Jackie, Sunny, Megan, Deborah, Sharon, Daisy, AJ, Cathie, Linda, Helen, Connie, Cindy and Mary Margaret.
