Happy Dance!

I fixed my point driver so The Cranberry Sampler is framed and so is Bands of Pearle, which was my birthday present from my stitching alter ego, Laura. I haven't picked out a spot for either of them yet, because it will require rearranging my dining room and living room. So they may just sit propped on chairs for a while so I can admire them.


I wish you all could see them close up. I love whitework so much, but my photography skills are just not good enough to do them justice.

I've been moving right along on the Red and Black II. The black isn't as boring as I thought it would be, but the red adds so much ooomph that I can hardly wait to get to it. Maybe that's what is motivating me.

Birthdays ROCK!

I don't care how old I get, I love my birthday. Look what I got in the mail on Monday!!! Not one, but two stitched pieces for my birthday. My friend, Laura, stitched "Bands of Pearle" by The Sampler House. She knows how much I love this piece. I can't wait to get it framed. Because it's done all in shades of ecru and taupe, it's a little hard to see, but take my word for it...it FABULOUS!

And this precious piece is from my friend, Karen. It's called "Friendship is a Sheltering Tree" by All Through the Night. It's already pinned and ready to frame. I've got the perfect place for it too. Don't you love the little bunnies?
 
Stitching friends are the BEST!
