Done done done!!!

Well here I am posting again..... I put my mind to finishing Miraculous Birth sampler by Stoney Creek and even after goofing off on saturday I was able to finish the little backstitching and the beading in one day!!!! I have to say I am so proud of this piece and all it means and will mean for the mother. I did it as a memorial for my SIL's cousin who is a sweetheart and no one should suffer the lose of a child the way she did!!!!! This is for you Lynn! And now I can take it with my SIL to my framers and we can pick out a frame together especially since she knows her decor and tastes. I took several pictures and then took some more...to make it stand out I needed to put it on a white pillowcase otherwise the picture was just washed out. So without any further delays here they are.... and and and and finally . I really had a lot of fun with this piece especially learning two new stitches the Eyelet Variation and the Braided Heart and of course relearning the Satin Stitch. Also working with Glissengloss Japanese silks and other threads was fun!!!! I can now say I'm still not sure why it took so long to finish but my SIL's visit next week was the the push I needed to finish!!!!

I am also contemplating another new start... I know I have too many as is but I having been dreaming of Fairy Moon but Mirabilia . Maybe after my SIL's visit ...if I can hold out that long. The obsessing has begun.....

I am grateful for finishes and friends...
