New small finish

 Hey Everyone!

I had switched to a quick project while waiting for a magnifying lamp to arrive.  My eyes aren’t what they used to be, though most of the time I’m fine with “cheaters” from the dollar store.  That being said, full crosses on 34ct is apparently not something I can see well enough.  I had a hard time seeing the single missed stitches especially.  So this is what I finished during my little break:

It’s from an old issue of Just Cross Stitch magazine.  I did correct the grammar and changed “fresh” to “freshly”.  It would’ve driven me crazy if I’d left it alone.

I did also do some tidying in my craft room.  I’ll probably post some before and after photos once I’ve finished.

Happy Stitching!

Wedding Sampler framed!

 Hey Everyone!

Just a couple of minutes ago I finished framing my Wedding Sampler!

Now I just have to wait for August so I can enter it in our county fair.

That’s all I have for now.

Happy Stitching!

Framed Finish and Wedding Sampler update

 Woo hoo!  I finally got my PTP Floral Arrangement from HAED framed!

I got the frame and mat from a local frame shop.  It was hard finding a place that would do the oval mat.  I washed the piece yesterday and ironed it dry.  I left it hanging overnight to make sure it was bone dry before framing it today.

This is stitched 1x1 on 40ct. linen in true half stitches (not “tent” which usually is a needlepoint stitch).

I got the beads to finish the TW Wedding Sampler last Wednesday and finished it the same day.

I received the frame for the wedding sampler today.  I’ll wash that tomorrow while hubby is playing bingo with his sister and I’ll frame it on Friday evening while he’s working at our local auction.  Thank goodness he gets out of the house every once in awhile!

Happy Stitching!

Wedding Sampler…nearly finished

 Hey Everyone!

I have the Wedding Sampler finished…nearly.  I ran out of beads!  ugh!  I’ve ordered them already so I can finish it once they get here. It needs about 20 more beads in the bottom border.

As you can see, I’ve already “signed” the piece.  It will not be showing once I frame it.  It will be straight as well when framed.  The beads are causing some slight, temporary warping while it’s still on the scroll frame.

I have also worked on rearranging my craft room while I was working on this, and I will be making a separate post about that…later.

Happy Stitching!
