Another Bit of Crewel

I've missed working on this crewelwork!  I stitched the tendrils using stem stitch and finished the large circular area of the left leaf with stem stitched stems, chain stitched leaves, and a couple French knot buds.  I may go back and redo the buds in the light pink.  I used the lightest blue and I don't mind it for the area, but I feel that the overall composition of the piece may need a wee bit of light pink in there.  I also thought about adding maybe a bit of seeding in the light pink- but I feel that may be too busy.  I'm going to finish the last 2 bits and then see if/what I need to adjust.

Finishing my RSN Crewelwork Module:

Since my crewelwork piece for the RSN Certificate program was closer to being finished, I decided to frame it up and finish it first and then go back to silk shading.  Mentally, I needed one of them off my "to-do" list.  As you can see I have a little bit of "help" stitching now!  

The bit I finished today was the stem stitch outline of the large area of gradient rows of stem stitch on the leaf on the right side and the smaller bit at the top of that same leaf using adjacent rows of stem stitch.
