A Fun Bee Themed Project

Stitching with the Housewives has an adorable pattern Honey Bee part of their What's in my cup Series.  I stitched two threads over one on 14 count chalkboard black Aida using the DMC floss conversion provided in the pattern.  My backstitching could use some work but overall I think it came out nice.  I started at the bottom left corner (generally not where I usually do).  That had me a little close on one side so I shifted the cup a bit.  I think it will work up into a nice display piece with my sunflower decorations.
