Mad Women

What have I been doing on this tax-free weekend....not out shopping that's for sure.  I've been stitching like a mad women.  The deadline to finish the witch's hat is in one week.  I had stopped stitching on it for about 2 weeks....I'd been fretting over it, but not stitching.
Why the fretting....I was not happy with the flowers.  I had couched down some yarn for the flowers, but it was not the look I was going for.
Finally late last week inspiration struck

I"m going to try putting silk flowers on my hat.  I have to get everything stitched before I glue this on, so that's what I have done all weekend

I only have a small section of black, and the yellow edge to complete.  I had almost given up on having this completed by the end of August, but I now have renewed hope.  The background stitch is hesitation and goes very quickly.  I'm going to basketweave the yellow.
Stop by next weekend to see if I have met my deadline.

Happy Stitching!
