Bee is for Birthmonth

Hello dear friends.
First off, thank you so much for the comments on my last post. Truly appreciate it:)
It's May! Of course I know you wouldn't remember, but this is me in last year's post:

Wasn't that so immature?

I've grown mentally and emotionally this past year. 

So this is me now:

Hahaha. Yeah, I'm ready to attack that wishlist again. By the way, DH never (dare) gets in the way in this deep haul-searching, so that guy in the picture may represent something else, maybe the high-priced vendors? lol (and of course, that girl is not really me, how I wish, haha, those are from Korean dramas I've watched before. I used to watch "all"the time til cross stitch and flosstube and blogging, oh and work too, took me away from it).

I mentioned before that I bought 16ct. aida fabrics with my GAST floss, so that was an early birthday present. I'm now surfing for patterns and gadgets maybe. There's a download pattern that I'm really attracted to. Let's see how the budget will work out. Decisions, decisions.

My Big niece is also back from college, woohoo! Imagine a whole school year has just gone by. I might be spending some time at my sis this coming weekend. That's another thing to look forward to. 

So before everything gets crazier this month, I need to focus on the WIPs (but not as much progress as I've hoped for:(

 

 On Bees, I chose to finish the blues rather than continue the gray. So all those octagons are now filled in, just missing the bear's darling beehive.

I now stitched with the original shade of blue, and also decided to keep the darker blue crowns. Then it's a whole lot of gray stitching ahead, a whole lot. I'm not into it yet so next post will most likely be a Santa update.

Thanks for visiting. Happy Stitching!
