Another of my October finishes, finally being shown here in...November! I'm a little behind...story of my life!
So, there in the middle of the pattern you will notice a nice big blank spot....where a flower, in a vase (I'm guessing a tulip) is supposed to go...but it is charted for one over one on linen, and since i am doing this on Aida, it wouldn't work right at all, so I either need to rechart the flower to fit aida, or I have been toying with the idea of trying to design a Teapot....I just haven't gotten to it yet!
Well, hubby has been gone this week on travel for work, so I have had loads of stitching and reading time, I finished book #69 last night and have only 6 more books to go to reach my 75 book goal!!! I have also put in loads of time on Howling at the Moon. I made a new monthly goal concerning that one for this month...I want to work on it for 25 hours this month, I'm finished with 9 of those hours already!!! So, I am hoping to stay on top of it!! I also worked a little on Petal last night, as I really need to get that one done up, and move onto the last piece of that project, or Alyssa will be 10 years old and not wanting little lambs on her quilt anymore! So, I am truly aiming to have that entire blanket finished by her birth day...what ever day she decides "Hey, man! It's cramped in here, I want out" and makes her debut entrance into this world...I can't wait to meet her!!! Just about 4 more months to go now!!!

I bet a small tulip button would work. Looks great!

You could always see if there is a button of a vase and then you could stitch the flower that comes out of it. Just an idea.
Your finish is lovely =) Is Alyssa your baby to be? I just had a baby 8 months ago and I named her Alyssa too :) I was selfish and named her after me :)
I think you should put a charm or button in the center.
Rather than stitching a teapot or tulip, could you replace it with an appropriate button? It might be a lot easier and quicker too!
Cute finish! Except for the vase but you will figure that one out!
You are really staying on top of things!! Congrats - that must feel good! I love the teapot idea - very cute! Also, VERY impressed with your book finishes! Do you have a list somewhere - I'm always looking for my next good read... Hope you're feeling great! Meredith
Now were that me, I would slap a pretty button there. I like buttons!
