Gemini is finished!
The picture isn't that great, but it was late when I took it! I'm doing this on 32 Belfast in Black Magic from Under The Sea Fabrics using all flosses and silks from Mo's Sale except for white and black. Here is the completed piece at this point:
I really love this piece, it just gets more awesome with each installment! Now, as with the past installments, this section came with information all about Gemini, which happens to be my sign.
Gemini – May 21 – June 20
Gemini is the Latin translation of the Greek Didymoi, "the Twins"
Gemini has an abundance of intellectual
energy. This energy must be expressed and
they seldom suffer in silence. Gemini is
charming and life is more interesting and
beautiful with them around.
Gemini can
make quick changes in any aspect of life.
They cannot bear to be bored.
Gemini has many sides, making them great
company, rarely boring. They're social
creatures, and stay current on the most
interesting gossip, cultural events, new
restaurants and shows. They're deft
communicators and social observers. Many
end up in journalism, as bloggers, and in
fields where schmoozing is in the job
description, like sales, promotion, politics.
At the extreme edges, Gemini is
duplicitous, unreliable and unable to
commit to one thing and do it well.
Gemini thrives on collecting bits and pieces, and rearranging it all into new forms. They're
mischievous, and have a childlike side. Moods can be erratic, making it hard to find
discipline or a singular focus. Gemini loves to have lots of friends, and likes the familiarity &of the neighborhood (shops, cafes, passersby).
Constellation: Gemini, the Twins
Element: Air
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Stone: Citrine
Metal: Quicksilver
Phrase: "I think"
Colors: yellow and sky blue, kaleidoscopic, stripe or spotted, swirls
Animals: birds, especially talking parrots, swallows, magpies, mockingbirds, sparrows. Trickster creatures like monkeys, weasels or hyenas. Buzzing insects, grasshoppers, ladybugs, butterflies
Birth Flower: Lavender and Lily of the Valley flowers. Lavender is a heavenly scented flower that spreads rapidly and can overtake a garden. It attracts butterflies but repels pesky ants. Like lavender, Geminis can be all over the place, being pulled in a hundred different directions. Luckily, you can multitask, which makes you very productive and creative. As lavender attracts butterflies, the Gemini attracts people who find him/her fun-loving, full of life and clever. Geminis make great friends and companions.
Additional options are: Maiden hair ferns, Orchids, Chrysanthemums, Lilacs and Azaleas.
I thought it was pretty accurate! What do you think?
Until next time!

I am the complete opposite of a social creature and wouldn't say I was unreliable. However, I do have a mischievous and childlike side to me :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish, Katy! It looks great. Very interesting info about Geminis! I can already see some of those traits in my one-year-old; she's very social, loves to be heard, and wants to do everything at once.
ReplyDeleteThis is turning into such a fun SAL. Some of the Gemini traits hold true for me, others not quite so much. I am definitely not a social creature, at least not in person hah. But I think "I think" fits perfectly though :D
ReplyDeleteI'm not a social creature too, but mischievous and childlike? hmmm.."I think" I do get along well with younger ones than oldies, lol.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful Katy.
ReplyDeleteLinda
That is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteLove it! This piece is coming along so beautifully :D
ReplyDeleteThis is growing into such a lovely piece! My ex-husband was a Gemini! Some of that is very true about him, he was a great communicator. But also had a complete personality change mid life!! Which is why he's the ex LOL
ReplyDeleteMarried to a Libran now, be interested to see what you say about them!
DeleteThis is looking wonderful!!! I love how it is turning out and I adore the fabric you chose for the piece.
