I have the centers on the two flowers now, and although it does not show up so well here, the top flower has some embroidery work done on it.The picture below is a bit easier to see the embroidery on, I took two strands of black floss and made crease marks out from the base of each flower, then went around the center piece with a V shaped stitch to tack down the sides and add a bit of detail to the edge of the center of the flower.
I need to get the embroidery on the second flower, then decide if I want to do any detail work around the outer edges on the flowers. I want to add some detail veining to the leaves as well.

NOTICE: I love trying to make this a good travel journal and while I know I fall short of my dream, I also spend a LOT of time pondering and rereading comments to see if I should post or delete as robot SPAM. So... a few rules on the comments.
I want anyone, not only Blogger members or Open ID members to be able to comment, however... Please sign your comment, if you do not it will not be published. Anonymous comments help no one and are unreliable.
Also, if you have a strong enough opinion to post a comment, please take time and make it informative - if you had a good time somewhere detail what you mean, don't just say "This place was great!!! Loved the buffet!", and if you had a lousy time please detail it, don't just say "This place sucked and the pool smelled! Ruined my vacation!" I want to feel as if you really were there when I read your comments.
If you have a website or blog where you detailed your experience it is even better, include a link to your website or blog - just make sure it is not to a SPAM site made to endorse/defame a location, because I will delete any that do not strike me as being legitimate personal sites.
Thank you for your help in making it easier for me to know what is robotic SPAM and what are real personal reviews.
