June, July & August Bead Journal Project Update

I have finally gotten a little bit of progress on my first quarter's BJP. I have been crazy busy between work and family stuff that I stared at that leaf out line forever without doing anything. Finally, I found some time to sit down and sketch out on paper what I wanted to do. Can you guess, yet, where I'm going with this? If you look closely, you can see my other sketch lines (few as they may be) on the interfacing.

Once I had the sketch completed, it was much easier to start on the actual beading. I didn't have much time to to that, though, so this is all the further I've gotten:
Here's a closer look at the first month's square:
The flower took me over an hour to bead. I also ended up going back and breaking two of the beads on the right side to make the petals more rounded. I'll fix the thread showing when I fill in the rest of that section.
