After I had some serious frogging issues with the green on summer, my second rotation started off pretty good, and I finished summer and most of spring before I realized that my outline was off by one stitch! So I fixed that and got back to cross stitching, finishing spring and winter too (winter didn't have a lot of cross stitch anyways). I then started on the backstitching, first doing all the strong stems and vines with 6 strands of DMC (yes, that is a lot) and did a small start on the regular backstitch too (the leaves in autumn). For my next rotation, I plan to finish the backstitch and hopefully most of the specialty stitches in this part, too!
Next up is Dark Forces for its July rotation, though. That will be a drastic difference to the Zoe Box!

This is very pretty!
I love this box! Your post inspired me to finally buy the pattern for myself. Beautiful stitching! :)
Beautiful work on your Zoe Box. I am so looking forward to seeing this design progress.
Did you know that Zoe means "life" in Greek? Seems appropriate for a seasonal or circle of life box.
Oh, that is coming along beautifully! I can't wait to see more progress. :)
