Time for an Update!!

Hello all!! Hope you are all doing well. I haven't blogged for a while, and i admit I haven't really been stitching that much lately. However, I do have some updates and 2 framing HD's!!! Atleast I accomplished something while AWOL, aight?? hehe





First is the Spring Baby Butterfly by EMS, I picked up a ready to use frame at Michaels and surprisingly it fits although I used monaco fabric which is slightly thicker than most, even used the frame backing it came with, It's ready to go, for my god-daughter's birthday. It was very obvious that the baby was not centered, but I don't think it was that bad, I had to keep the child's name in the center after all...




This next one had been a framing HD for a while, I kept forgetting about it since i had to buy hooks to hang it. I purchased this super beautiful asian bamboo themed frame for $27 and it wasn't a standard size, it was 17x22 which was perfect for the piece, I bought it at this framing place in San Luis Obispo, they have ready made frames, hanging, you only need to purchase glass along with it, I saw this and i had to get it for the piece because it just fits, perfectly! I backed it with kraft paper (framing paper) and just added hooks for hanging it. Sorry this picture is washed out, today is very cloudy (probably from the wild fires) and the crap called "Vista" is not very user-friendly.





I'll need to catch up on reading your blogs, so please bear with me, I have been so busy lately, I had lost my 'wonder woman' touch LOL.




I'll end with trick or treat pictures...

What gorgeous finishes both. Butterfly baby is so cute, and your bamboo one is just so elegant. Loved your Halloween pictures. Lord Vadar looks like he was having a wonderful time, what a cutie, and your yukata is fantastic.

Reading back through your earlier posts I noticed where you said you dyed the fabric for Butterfly yourself, it looks fantastic. The colors work wonderful with the pattern, congratulations on a lovely job.
