Dear Deer

I finished the first cartouche that is the flap of the inside pocket.  It was fun to see it develop.  I am kind of sick of eyelets though.  My goal for today is to finished the middle cartouche that will be filled with a felt for needles.  There is a deer on the far cartouche that looks toward the middle (or toward the other deer).

I worked a bit on Strawberry Thief.

I am having fits with the colors.  Two of the belly's floss colors look exactly the same.  Rats.  I'm not taking it out.  No way.  I tried some colors on the vine and I think they will do fine.  I've decided that this is an exotic bird of strange colors.  That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
