The creation of the butterfly

Butterfly Lace is finished.

Yesterday, I finished the lattice and the silk daisies.  Today, was the creation of the butterfly.  It wasn't really that difficult to make, but it was very time consuming.  I started working on it when I got up this morning around 8am and continued working on it pretty much all day today and finally finished that little butterfly at around 4pm.  Stitching the ribbon together around the florist wire took forever.  If anyone has any suggestions on what this should be made into, I'd love to hear them.  I'm really not sure how to finish-finish it. 

I have no idea what's going to be next on my agenda. It's been awhile since I've had nothing on the go like this.  Some time should be spent on finish-finishing.  My pile is getting pretty big and there's only a couple of things that will be framed eventually. 

After searching online the other night, I learned a bit about the Emroiderer's Association of Canada and am thinking about joining so that I can do their individual courses.  Have anyone of you completed these courses?  Or are you a member? 

Time to go search through stash for my next project.  Hopefully I can make a decision!  lol
