Hippity Hop!

Oh, I am so glad I decided to used a textured stitch for the grass in "Hippity Hop"!  It looks so cool and I would have died of boredom if I had to cross stitch every single one of those little buggers! I'm using a brick stitch variation.  Each brick stitch is over four threads which equals four cross stitches each. Ych.
I will admit that the compensating stitches brought the frog to the house several times...usually just as I was ready to call it a night.  But I sent him on his way pronto.  I think I will give this little guy to my Mom for Mother's Day. She loves bunnies.

My fabric finally arrived for "Virtue Outshines the Stars", so that will be my next start. But since I want to continue with Nicola's Scarlet Letter blog I'll also be starting "Jean Scrimgeowr" in the next little bit.  I'm not very good at the stitching rotation thing, but I'm going to give it a try.  Don't be surprised if I abandon one because I become obsessed with the other.  I can't help it, it's just the way my brain works.
