A Finish

Finally have a finish!  Took me far longer than I thought but don't get as much time stitching.
Ta da!

Can't wait to get it framed.

Have decided to revisit this one started a long you time ago.  At least 4 or 5 years.

Has been a challenge so far. Have only been doing samplers and tapestry type stitching. The mistakes I have found and made some far. Gesh!  Nothing like having to rip out like 50 teeny tiny stitches. Took over an hour!

Most of my weekend free time has been spent out here.

Lots of exercise with digging ditches and cleaning things up. So peaceful!
Also good practice for me as I would like my own farm some day.

Busy, busy, busy

Has been a busy, crazy month.  Went by so fast.  But managed to finish a UFO and a project started in December.  A little late for Christmas but will be able to hang it next year.  Will be on the lookout for a frame.

This is out of a Cross Stitch and Needlework magazine. 

This is my UFO.  A kit I started in 2009.

This is my current work in progress.  Song of Solomon sampler I am stitching with my Facebook group Embroidery Motifs from Old Dutch Samplers.  Has been fun as we all picked our own colors and fabric so they are all different.  Trying to finish in time for the next sal but not sure I will make it.  Only have 17 days and life is full of activities.
