TURNING THE CORNER IN MONET'S CITY


I have finally set out my Water Lilies for Monet's City...I still am shuffling and re-shuffling rosettes and partial rosettes and strips and singles Ack!!  

Here is a closeup shot  of of the dark side water lilies



If you look closely you can see that the rosettes nest and therefore (because I had no graphed out plan--NOTE to SELF: make a plan!!) there are full, and partial ones...with places to be
filled in.  
And so.........

I have resorted to taking closeup pictures with my phone of each one--pulling it out a bit and pinning it so that I can remember how it goes together to fit in!!  

and here are the lilies in the sunlight


they all have the script centers.....

As far as the other two sides--I am still pondering (hahaha no pun there--"pond"ing!!) 
what to do--I'd like to add some kind of tree lines..we shall see...

I sewed three darkside rosette forms this afternoon and then my poor brain refused to do anymore (that is ahem! after unsewing a few mistakes:  those frogs in the pond make that sound you know only too well ,  lol: rip-it, rip-it, rip-it!!) .  

So that's where I am wandering around Monet's City while outside we are having our first taste of snow, sleet, rain etc.  

P.S.  I got my little 1/2" hexagon  paper pieces in the mail today for my next project--
oh, well thought readers--YES  I am a "hex-a-maniac" for sure" .

 (NOTE: The hexies in  my MC measure 1" per side--so these new ones are teeny- tiny, itsy bitsy...)

hugs to you all, stay warm and enjoy your weekend sewing,
