Well, I guess this isn't really a finish, but the stitching is finished! This is the photo that disappeared yesterday! We had a freebie kit exchange at Stitchers' Timeout, and this is the design that Cheryl sent me. It is a design from The Workbasket called Pink Flower. There were supposed to be initials on the right side, but I left them off. I love the colors in this one...it was really fun to stitch up. Thanks again Cheryl!
And this is my April ornament. I finished it up this morning before work. It is a design I found in The Gift of Stitching magazine (November 2010) called The First Day of Christmas by Nancy Pederson. It is stitched on piece of red linen with Weeks floss - "Holly". My French knot pulled right out, so I used a bead for his eye! This looks kind of faded...it's really quite bright!
I am so glad the weekend is upon us. The weather is supposed to be clear and a bit warmer I think. This afternoon I am going to a Memorial service...one of my co-workers lost her husband on Sunday. He had a massive heart attack. I don't think this will all really hit her for a few weeks. It is such a reminder of how fragile life is, and how your world can change in an instant. Hug your hubby extra hard tonight!
Both your finishes are beautiful and I will definitely give my DH an extra hug life is so precious
ReplyDeleteYour finishes (and finishing) are wonderful, Lynda! We are supposed to be cool this weekend - bummer! I'm sorry for your friends loss. Life is precious and all too often, much too short.

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your friends' husband. So sad.
Another co-worker? Not again! Didn't some of your co-workers lose her husband just recently? I am so sad for you and for her. It must be hard on her. And when I say recently, I mean recently in your blog's timeline. And yes, you have no idea, what tomorrow brings.
