Pelicans everywhere, iv

I've been trying to persist in stitching the background of my pelican piece.  I do at least 2 strands every evening.  And I'm almost finished!  The gold on my beaks and top knot will be stitched in the diagonal mosaic.  You can see on the right that I have just done enough to make sure the stitch will work.

 This week I received a shipment of Walker bags.  I ordered only the multiple zip bags.  The colors are so gorgeous and bright!
