vintage crewel kit: hummingbird 4

can't wait to sink my teeth into this bird.

well, i really wanted these last 2 leaves to be completed with the last ones, but naturally i underestimated how long it would take. not going to lie, these were a bit boring to get through. seeing that little bird's head in the frame was a reminder that the best is yet to come. but before i can get to him, let's knock these leaves out of the way.
