Well as you can see from my little beaker there are a few bits of blues and greens.  The greens come from my bikers patch I'm working on.

I'm kinda worried that the green outline I'm using is too dark, and that I need a color closer to the green I've used in the tomato pincushion.  Guess I'll try stitching the other outline with a different green and see what looks better.

I've also started stitching on Musical Bell Pull again.  I haven't gotten that far so I'll wait till my Wipocalypse post before I show an update of that.  I'm working on the mandolin. Here's the model picture with it circled.
 
That's all for this blog post. Thanks for stopping by....

Nice progress on your badge. That green is rather dark, I suppose if you are going to use a similar dark shade for the yellow it would be OK. I like your idea of trying a different colour on the other side. Is it easy to frog?

Yeah, I think that green is too dark as well. Can't wait to see your WIP progress :)
