Ermergerd, tree! And I've hit the top of the piece finally!
There were sooooo many stitches in this last ten rows. There were the two tree paths at 800+ and 900+, and the white halves in the sky at 900+ as well. Those white stitches are a lot easier to see in the photo than in real life, oddly enough.
I like that you can see where the trunk is going to be on that left tree.

And there's the first tree! There's a little bit of yellow left at the top (not sure if that's supposed to be flowers or really light leaves or what), and a couple isolated green stitches. Math says that this top page is over 50% done!

I needed to finish something, so I did this one last night. "Quick" little piece that took me probably about 4 hours. Yes, cross stitching takes a bit of time!
Another ten rows down. The next row is 800 stitches of green (I assume, I didn't actually check the colour) in the right tree, so... yay?

I think I must have been fighting a bug or something this week, as I couldn't get the energy to stitch during the week after I finished work for the day. Plus, there were two paths that were >600 stitches and two more that were >400, which were really daunting! But, it also means that there is now a LOT of the two buildings filled in, which should make it feel like it's going faster now, right?

I admit, I didn't do any stitching this past week. I kind of got in the mood to play Rift and ended up spending some time with that. It may have partly been that 400+ stitch path of white on the left side that was daunting, but I don't know.
The umbrellas are coming along. I'm particularly fond of the blue one in the middle.

First 10 rows complete!
This half of the piece has a lot less confetti. I mean, the trees are going to be pretty bad for confetti, but the buildings and sky and the umbrellas are full of larger chunks of colour.
You can see pretty well where the bottom of the umbrellas are at this point. They're going to really get going in the next 10 rows. The purple patch in the center and the maroon on the left are the only parts of the umbrellas that are done yet. Other than their poles of course.
I'm looking forward to the large chunks of colour that the umbrellas promise.
