Oh, Florida

I've got to get this framed! I finished it up years ago when we lived in Florida... Brightneedle's Key West Sampler.

A couple of times, I've thought that this would make a pretty wedding sampler on white with the couple's names and wedding date in the center. But it reminds me of the tropical breezes and whimsy of Florida...

That Darn PeliCan...

I've been working on this since May 2008. This is my progress as of April 14. I need to take another pic and get the latest update posted. At this rate, maybe I'll get finished by May 2010. And I swear I'll never take on another large project.

I get bored too easily!

Getting Ready for Fall...

I'm trying to pull together some autumn finishes for this year's decorating. It's amazing at the pieces I have that are going to look so great grouped together. Looks like there's going to be a trip to the framer's coming up soon!

I so hate putting the finished ones away each year. Even now, I leave out my Snowman Row all year because I love it so (and it's sort of fun to walk past snowmen when it's 103 degrees outside!).

From long ago...

Way back when I had different initials, I completed a wonderful Cricket Collection project called "Shadows". It is a silhouette of a stitcher in front of a pastel alphabet sampler. It was the first project I ever had framed. I love it as much today as I did then!
