The first part being the piecing of the background, I have completed the second part of appliqueing the wool felt cacti to the background. The next step being the embroidery of the details on each plant. There aren't any REAL instructions on the exact details.

Workbasket – progress despite illness
It doesn't need to be personal illness that may interfere with progress. It might be illness of a loved one. Over the course of the last two weeks, I experienced some of each.

Workbasket
I have been continuing to work on the "yellow" vintage layette. To me the yarn looked like a very soft yellow in the store.
