Here is a Sampler Girl freebie finally framed- I can't believe I stitched it in 2008! I thought it was last year. Granted I did wait a while to get the frame from my dad, but I must have put off framing it longer than I thought. Anyway- here 'tis-
I was going to frame Bent Creek's "Blackbird House" yesterday- got it out and contemplated removing the button before I ironed it- but didn't- there was some really bad creases in it and I was having a hard time getting them out so I kind of forgot about the button, and when I flipped it over the little blackbird was all broken. So now I have to wait to frame it - will have to order another button. I really need to start rolling my projects up instead of folding them- the creases are so hard to get out after so long a time. That or I need to start finishing all my projects into whatever I plan to do with them, right after I finish stitching them.
Well I was sitting in the Sonic drive-thru the other morning (I love their jr. breakfast burritos and they are only 1.00!) and while I was waiting at the speaker I saw this- I hope you can make out the moth/butterfly- not sure which it was-I think a dark colored butterfly-
It's on the yellow flower in the front. I was so glad I had my camera with me, even if it didn't turn out that great! The kids and I also saw some deer not far from our house the other day- and got pretty close- but as soon as I got the camera they ran and I just got a couple of blobs. Oh well.
And last but not least- a sign of fall-even though it continues to be in the 90's (ugh) here-

Lovely finish! Cool butterfly/moth too!
Great finish! Sorry about the button. Yep - hot here, but I saw two beautiful bright yellow trees today out of the blue! (or should I say green???) :)
Your framed piece is lovely and the color of the frame is perfect for it.
Tracey, what very pretty finishes!
Congrats on getting that SG finish out of the drawer and into a lovely frame! It looks wonderful!
Great framing and finish!!! I am with you on finishing the finishes right away, but sometimes it's just not financially the right time...lol. I know that I will be an ironing maniac soon enough when I try to iron out "Makin' New Friends" to frame for a Christmas gift this year..
Your Sampler Girl piece looks great!
Ouch. Too bad about the button. I keep my finishes all rolled up. The only ones with creases are the ones where I didn't get the crease out from when the fabric was sold folded. (And some of those are impossible to get out!)
Tracey,
Love your Comfort House! Congrats on getting it framed, it's perfect!
Sharyn :-)
Fantastic finish! Bummer about the button. I was reading about the Blog Frog stuff. I haven't signed into my BF account in months but sometimes I show up, sometimes I don't. ?!
