Framed Piece and WIP

I am so excited to have a three-day weekend! My plan is to finish all my homework today so that I can spend my three days just relaxing!

Here is another framed piece I finally received back from LNS - she still has one more (all of which I took to her in June). I am going to check out a couple of not so LNS (both an hour away) and see if either do framing. She does a wonderful job, but I just think two months is too long to wait for my framing - don't you? I would rather drive an hour and get it back in 2-3 weeks.

I am so pleased with this piece - this is one of my favorite frames.

And finally, here is my newest project The Learning Girl Sampler, she is so pretty - this picture does not do her justice. I plan to spend lots of time with her this weekend. I am also working my way thru the 'Bewitched' series, I'm on Season Two. I can just hear Gladys now in her whiny tone "Aaabner" and Darrin in his very stern voice "Samantha". When I am in trouble with my husband he uses my first and middle name, which is my qeue to make myself scarce :-)

Enjoy your day - it's beautiful here in Virginia, we are having a cool spell this week, mid-70's, which is a nice break from the heat and humidity.

Cari, What a gorgeous sampler you are stitching, love it. Are you changing any colors in it? It is so fun seeing everyone's projects; your Blackird Designs piece turned out perfect!!

No changes, I am using the colors listed. My plan was to use NPI but most of the colors were so different that I only used 2-3 NPI and the rest are DMC. It has some specialty stitches in it - which are a fun change from x's.

This is one of my all time favorite BBD patterns and yours is gorgeous! I also love the Learning Girl sampler. It's looking awesome and the colors are wonderful. It's a good thing when one recognizes when she should make herself scarce!

The frame suits the piece really well! Very, very beautiful~
Wow~ the 70s sounds like music to my ears! It's been in the high 90s to 100s here and if it wasn't for the ac, I wouldn't be able to survive!

Oh gosh, your framed BBD is gorgeous, love it, the frame is perfect for it!
I'd say that's a long time to wait for your framing....but it is really hard to find someone that does a good job...at least around me it is. Maybe you can find someone else that does just as well though. Good luck!
Your progress on the Learning Girl sampler is beautiful!
