Finally Framed

I picked this up from the framer, and really like the way it turned out.

For the past week I have been doing some other projects, and have not gotten as much stitching in as I'd hoped. For some reason, I got motivated to clean out a couple of closets! I have been stitching on How Does Your Garden Grow trying to get the first part completed before the 2nd part is sent out. I could finish and post a picture tonight, but I'll plan to finish it tomorrow on my lunch break.

Thanks for the comments...glad to see that I'm finally getting some visitors!

28 ct. cream linen, DMC Floss, Kreinik Braid

finished 12/17/2007

I finished this today. The cross stitching was completed months ago, but I just added the lazy daisy flowers and leaves and the gold braid. I'm happy with they way it turned out and will frame it someday.

The strength is coming back in my hand. In certain positions it is painful and I'm still having trouble doing some things. But, compared to how weak it was last Wednesday, I've come a long way. Still doing exercises at home, and will go for therapy weekly for the next 5 weeks.

WIP update

My 2 WIP for last week!

The sampler is by Eileen Bennett, "Symbols of the Season Sampler" from Cross Stitch Sampler magazine Christmas 1993. And, I got quite a bit done on the bookmark.

26 ct. Mushroom Lugana, DMC Floss

April 2007

This one completed in April 2007, is a freebie from TW Designworks. Used color suggestions and stitched on 26 ct. mushroom lugana. Finished about 3 x 3. Fun and quick project!

This is one of several WIP's (Renaissance Bookmark-TW Designworks) that I took with me on a cruise to the Greek Isles, Cairo and Istanbul several weeks ago. I spent some afternoons on deck stitching, reading and taking lots of cat-naps! When this is finished, it will be framed.
