Happy Dance Day has finally Arrived!

As expected, with much happiness but coupled with a big sigh for this finish (I had so much fun, why did it have to end?)... Drumroll...       
HOUSES OF LOVE
Taking a cue from Jeremiah's Mom, I replaced the French knots on the wreath with beads (A huge shout out to Katie for that pretty snowman post you did, what a great idea!:) -- See, that's what bloghopping can get you, tips from pros! I feel these beads really added more Christmas pizzazz on this piece.
The final touch of yellow flowers and stars on the black background somehow gives it a blinking multi-colored Christmas lights effect.
This is how my ORT jar looked like after it was all done. I have another story about it, but I'll reserve it for my next post.
Now, the question is: what is that thing beside the word LOVE? Is that ice cream? a tub of popcorn? or a basket (of what)? I'm leaning towards food, hah!
Thanks for visiting. Happy Stitching!

    That is BEAUTIFUL! I love this design!!! You did an amazing job!
    I think maybe it's popcorn? Or, with Jeremiah Junction, maybe a Christmas-y beehive?

    Oh so beautiful, your finish. This piece has really lovely motifs and colours. Wonderful. The little thing next to the word Love? Maybe a cactus? But that would be a strange thing next to Love, wouldn't it? Lol.

    Could it be a basket full of LovE?! You're right, not sure what it's supposed to look like :D

    Wohoo Congrats!!! Aw thanks for the shout out. It wasn't my idea though. I've noticed a lot of other people do the same thing. I do think the beads look fantastic! Enjoy your happy dance.

    Yes, see I knew as I progressed into the future-past I would find a finish! It looks so pretty! :D I also vote for popcorn because of that little white thing to the top left of it. Plus popcorn comes in those fun striped buckets!
