Welcome to all my new followers!
And thanks for your lovely and inspiring comments.
I finished the peacocks on the left side last weekend. They took some more time to complete because I had to frog all the special stitches in the tails. I used the colour of the bottom side peacocks.... But fortunately I didn't add the golden backstitches before I discovered the mistake. This made the frogging much easier.
Because the front garden was a messy bunch of weeds and shrubs and we'll probably get limited parking in the area we decided to create another parking place on our own site. In front of the kitchen window we have some plants and a (still very small) hibiscus bush. Now I am sweeping sand several times a day, outside and inside the house.
