Yellow Embroidery Swap Buzzing Bee



My most recent swap was an all yellow embroidery swap. Yellow is my favorite color so I was very excited about this one! I always do something super intricate, super hard and although they usually come out pretty good, this time I took a different approach. I wanted to keep it simple and clean, and I love the way it came out! Plus I finished it in two days :)







I am now officially done with all of the swaps I signed up for! I am so excited and relieved :) Lessons learned: I LOVE swaps, but don't go crazy and sign up for a million at one time! It got pretty stressful at the end, this past week was crunch time but I DID IT!

My partner lives in Luxembourg so I don't think she got it yet, but I also don't think she reads my blog. I hope she likes it! It was tough to pick something to embroider because her profile wasn't filled out at all (she's a newbie), so I just went with something pretty that I as a fellow yellow lover would love!

What do you think?!
