Lily Pad Frog Stitch-a-Long, part 3

Hi everyone! Just back from a weekend of camping and I forgot to schedule this before I headed out. As such, I can share this lovely view from Lincoln Rock State Park, where we camped: 

But back to the stitching!

Last time I showed how I was progressing on Mr. Frog: 

It's still such a pleasure to stitch this piece -- gorgeous wool and those seemingly gigantic 10-point holes. As such, I've made a lot of progress and I'm really happy about it. 

All of the confetti work on the frog is done, which means stitching those little bits will go quickly. The lily pad really only has confetting around the edges, and most of that is already stitched. So I feel like I can finish the frog in the next couple of days. 

That means that stitching the background in that lovely teal is just around the corner ... but what stitch to do? I've decided I'll play with a few different things. I'd like texture that doesn't overwhelm the lovely, delicate colors in the frog. We shall see!

In the meantime, don't forget to check out the amazing projects my fellow stitchers are working on -- I love seeing what they're up to! Avis, Claire, Gun, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Heidi, Jackie, Megan, Deborah, Sharon, Daisy, Cathie, Linda, Helen, Cindy, and Mary Margaret.
