There, that's much better

  

I tore out the embroidery that was making me unhappy and redid the whole thing. MUCH better. I ended up using a regular DMC embroidery floss because I just couldn't find a perle cotton in the right tone. I want the embellishment to look like it's part of the pitcher rather than something stuck on top of it. I may add a bit more embellishment but for now I think I'll let it rest a bit and work on putting the background together.
