Another finish


I have done this one so many times so many ways, but never get tired of it.  I started this in Memphis and finished yesterday.   Love her!

This handsome fellow was given to me by my sweet friend, Elizabeth.  I can't wait to start stitching!

More perfect stitches from Amy

Sky of Ewe and Eye's Coming Home
I posted this on FB yesterday as an example of the perfect stitches that Amy Bunger picks for each canvas.  Here is more of this to see how the pattern really works.

Summer Homes on the Pond

More of the foreground stitch

In perspective
It just could not be more perfect.  All done with an overdyed DMC which I did not know even existed. Love it.

Perfect Weekend

Waiting at the airport
 Off to Amy's for a Rent Amy Day with four bestest friends!  We had the best time hanging around Amy's Golden Strand in Memphis with Amy, Jill, and the other lovely ladies at the store.

I took this piece.  Amy came up with the perfect stitches and the perfect threads.  While I waited my turn at the store and during the slumber party in my room, I stitched on my Painted Pony SMU mini-angel.







I came home with a couple of other things.  


Valentine's Heart from Melissa Shirley

Skinny bald doctor from Rogue Needlepoint




It was a wonderful weekend and over all too soon.  More to follow.

Green Magi from Heartstrings

His gift

I lost the stitch guide so I am winging it here.  I think I will satin stitch the two rows at the bottom to create a base for the jar.

See the Nilla Wafers
Think I should clean up my stitching station before I go????
