STITCHING
Kayden's blanket, so close to a finish. Hope to show the whole blanket next week. Personally, I think the Precious Moments boy's feet are a little strange, but that is how the pattern is. I figured the letter with one space between each letter, but it looks a little funny, because I didn't take in consideration of the curves in the letters and that the "i" dot was pass the letter "c". Oh well, I am sure Kayden will love his blanket anyway. Info on this pattern is in January 19th post.
FRAME
Finally framed a few pieces. This one was a freebie, but I can't find any inforamtion on it.
Romeo and Chicks, by Frankie Buckley, Leisure Arts. I do believe that I stitched on this at two different Hoosier Stitchers' retreats. Started stitching in 2005 or 2006, finished stitching Dec. 2008.
Loves Me...Loves Me Not, Trail Creek Farm. This one is hanging on my love wall. I love "Love and Heart" patterns and I have dedicated two wall's in my bedroom for these pieces.
Crafty Cat, by Margaret Sherry, is now hanging above my sewing and beading area. Finished stitching in Jan. 2009.
Love and Joy Come to You, Coleen give me this pattern at one of the ILCS retreats. It is hanging in the living room. Just after I framed the piece, I walked away to work on another one, turned around and it was gone! Walked in the living room and Kayden was setting on the chair with it on his lap. I asked him, where do you want to hang it and he pointed at the wall above him.

Teamwork. I ask Bob "where should I hang this one?" He looked at it and thought about it for a minute and said "in the office". Funny thing is I was think the same thing. So, that is where it will be hanging soon. I don't remember when I started this piece, but it was finished Sept. 2008.
All the frames came from House Of Stitches. But I think I will be calling Shari and her hubby for my next frames.GIVIEAWAY
