I like to think that I learnt something on the first side and that my stitching has improved. Certainly, I think the rows of couching look more consistent with fewer gaps between the beads. I don’t think there is any visible difference in my stitching on the flowers but it feels very different. At first I found it difficult to judge where to bring my needle up so that the beads would be correctly positioned, it could take 2 or 3 attempts to get it right. Now I often get it right first time and when I don’t, a second attempt is usually all that is needed. I am also getting better at judging how many beads are required to fill a space. I am much less inclined to try to cram in one more bead. All in all, I feel it is coming more naturally to me.

Although I had a lot of stitching time this weekend, I did not make as much progress with Poppy Pouch as I hoped. I could not really settle to it and kept looking for other things to do. I also had a little time for stitching this morning. I knew that I could not stitch a whole petal in the time available but thought that I would be able to manage the small leaf. I really enjoy doing these leaves and they look very 'leafy' when they are done. The stitching went well and I was able to complete it without rushing. A very satisfying morning’s stitch!

Just lovely!
I can understand what you are saying about repeating a project, but I think you're handling it in a great way. A little at a time and it'll soon come together, and you'll be so pleased with the finished pouch it'll all be worth it. :)
This is lovely CA, and it does seem like doing the second side is helping to improve your stitching. Looking forward to seeing it in a couple of weeks.
That is so beautiful.
Smiles,

Your work is beautiful. I can't wait to see the completed pouch.
