Stitching done!

 I did actually finish that last petal last weekend! Now comes a lot of ironing and cutting and more ironing and cutting.....little bit of sewing....also known as finishing. That'd be this weekend's project, except I'm going out of town! Not going to lie, I did have a hard think about how ridiculous it'd be to pack an iron.

(I had finished everything on the darker fabric in class.) For this weekend's trip, I'm headed to Salty Yarns in MD with my momma. She'll be taking a class, I'll be enjoying the beach. Will be bringing my current knitting (which I have made progress on, but nothing really different than the previous pic) as well as this chart:

So when I was a small wee child, every time I went to the local stitching shop I picked up another dragon chart, because my vision of me as an adult would be to buy a house and plaster it with cross stitched dragons. Now that I'm an adult, I do have a house, but I have no wall space. But I've been watching Katie Strachan's Simple Harmony tutorials on youtube, and realized I could adapt these charts to fit a box. Assuming my calculations are correct, I can put the center dragon motif on the lid, and wrap the border design around the sides of the box. Does mean stitching it on 40-count.
