I fiddled with the dyed motifs by adding more green to the leaf and making the flower lace a warmer shade. I love the pearls added to the floral lace It makes me think of the buttons on a Victorian dress. I also picked out some ribbons to use and ironed them. I'm going to do 2 more folded roses with the 13mm ribbon and then some colonial knot roses with the 7mm Ecru ribbon. I like the nice light sage 4mm and will probably do some lazy daisy leaves with it. I was also thinking of spreading some rose petals on the block by using the 13mm or 7mm ribbon and doing the ribbon stitch. The block just makes me think of a Victorian lady's vanity table, or the contents of her keepsake box where she has bits of lace, flowers, love letters, and such.It makes me think of my favorite movie Pride & Prejudice. I never get tired of watching that one! It is so well done and I'm always noticing something new like their jewelery, dresses, embroidery, gardens, and china. Not to mention that I think it's a very well done book into movie, if you haven't seen it I highly recommend it.
