My Most Recent Finished Project - I love the frame!

ROCKHOME
SAMPLER
I have not finished a project in a while -- so this one is kind of special in that it is just nice to finally have something to share, and also have something to put up on my walls. I have so many plans, but life has been so busy this year with all the changes we have made in my yard, and then painting inside and outside the house, dealing with ground squirrels, and rabbits in the yard -- grubs in the lawn.. well, you get the idea. Anyway, it's been hectic to say the least, but a lot of the big jobs are done and I am almost at the end of my list of things to do this year. Once I get the fountain bowl repaired from this Winter's cold that caused it to separate in a few places so that it has a little open spot in the bowl. Well, that should be repaired by early next week and then I can settle down to getting ready for our Family Reunion which happens on October 11th. It's taken a while to get the work done, but I have a brand new barbecue area outside to enjoy, and new wisteria bushes, and new holly bushes in my yard, some old roses removed, and more Virginia creeper added, and lots more crepe myrtle bushes added as well. The house is painted, and a new floor in the kitchen, I've painted outside as well, my porches are done and over the garage door where we have a wooden surround. It's been something else...to way the least getting all this work done, but it's almost complete, and I can enjoy my accomplishments, and also stitch a lot after the Reunion is over. I'm so glad. I've really put in some labor this Summer.

I TOTALLY LOVE THIS FRAME!!

This is my Rockhome Sampler





Have a great day!

Hi Chris,
No I didn't frame it myself. It's framed at a local shop here where i live, but I'm really searching for a new frame shop. The one I use doesn't have a great selection, only fair, and I'd like to find a really good shop so I can get more creative with my framing. I figure it costs enough to do it, might as well have a really good selection to work with since it's going to cost a small fortune to get them done anyway -- ha! ha! Thanks for the nice comments too
