I finished 'Practice Kindness' I added the key as I love keys and have seen them on various blogs. Not sure I am thrilled about how the pale year showed up but I think with a dark frame I can handle it. Think I will take it to be framed soon before it gathers dust. I guess it can be my first finish for 2010 even though I probably started it in 1995 when the pattern came out. I forgot to mention in my last post that those beautiful threads are Weeks dye works threads. Just loving them on 'Lo'
I hope everyone has a great Valentine's weekend and gets some well deserved stitching time in .
Here is a heart that I stitched a few years back that would look good in red too . I can't even remember where it came from but with my destashing I am sure it will turn up.
Happy Heart's day!
I think the key makes the piece. Very nicely done. You have a Happy Valentines.
ReplyDeleteBe always in stitches
Congrats on your finish! That blue heart is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the heart in blue! I might just have to stitch this one myself :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
That is a gorgeous heart. Congrats on the finish.
ReplyDeleteLovely heart finish. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy Valentine's weekend too!
A really lovely finish, congrats!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty finish, congratulations! Have a brilliant Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteAll your projects are so pretty! I finally got my hands on the book that "LO" is in, and I love it too-hope to stitch it soon. For now, it's calling to me and I'm resisting so I can finish other things! Thx for stopping by my blog-your comments are so nice to see!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteHow did you manage today with the sudden
return to winter that we experienced???
I was pretty lucky in my homeward travels
after work and was only 1/2 an hour later
then usual arriving at Curves for my Monday
night work out.
My DH has shoveled the driveway out twice
this evening, and it looks as though the
snow might be tapering off now. It's
8:45 pm. Looks like we're getting snow
pretty much every day for the next week
although the temperatures are going to stay
fairly comfortable at around 0 Celsius.
That blue heart is lovely, and looks
awful familiar to me. I bet it's in one
of the binders that I have downstairs
with patterns from stitching magazines
from the early 90's. It would be nice
to stitch it in red as well and hang
the two hearts together.
Lo, How a Rose is looking great and
the colors are spectacular. The best
thing about using variegated thread is
seeing how the colors come out as you
stitch.
You'll find that Mary Kathryn gives
great service, and is really quick too.
Have you visited her blog at all???
She stitches beautifully, and her
photos of the mountains near her home
are spectacular.
Can't wait to see those new Prairie
Schooler charts in person. That's
funny that you had to get them too as
soon as you saw them. Great minds
think alike eh?
Didn't get any stitching in tonight,
drat, and tomorrow is Weight Watchers
so that'll be a late night too. Ah
well. There's always Wednesday night.
Cheers!!
Oh Jennifer, your Lo is looking great!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to tell you (because I'll forget)
The "He's a Flake" ornament is using the same colors as charted, I just didn't add the gold beads and substituted the red floss color in their place :)
Have a great week!
