Framed and finished! A Princess Moment

A Princess Moment

designed by Feathers in the Nest

copyright 2011

I finally finished and framed this sampler and with much inspiration and color, I enjoyed making this a memory for a most beautiful wedding!

I stitched the sampler on 32 count Antique White linen

using a variety of DMC, Crescent Colors, Weeks Dye and Gentle Art threads.

The frame is from The Frame Shop----EBAY (love their shop and service)

I stitched and framed this piece and will have the pattern for sale when I get a printer set up.

I made several revisions on color and design from the same one listed for a freebie for a couple of days on this blog.

After I started stitching, I could see the changes that needed to be made.

I hope you had a great holiday today in memory of those who gave their life for our freedom.

I spent much of the weekend reading. Gracie, my Kindle, was loaded with books to read and I really got settled into one by Michael Baron last night and today.

I don't know yet what my stitchy fingers will pick up next but I'm thinking I need to finish a Blackbird Design piece soon.

Speaking of BBD, June 2nd is when I will draw a name for the winner of the BBD Americana sampler with threads included!  If you haven't put your name in the hat, then you can click on the side bar which will show the post directly to the giveaway.

Till later,

New Frame, A Princess Moment almost finished, and pretty color!

Well, I am almost done with A Princess Moment. I have one more line of WDW navy row to stitch on the bottom and then it's framing time. The first frame came in the wrong size but the seller quickly made another one 8 x 12 for this one. A few peaks here before finishing that last row and before framing.

In hopes to finish and frame by midnight tonight!!!

I was hesitant about the gold frame but I think it complements it JUST like I wanted! So excited, almost like birthing a baby.......LOL

More on this later..........

In the weedy yard around the house this morning, I got a pic of one, spontaneously-sprouting flower that must have came back this year after being in the ground from 2 years ago. I have a place in the yard that BG just puts any plants that were inside and appear to maybe have a chance at life outside and sure enough, last year this lily did not come up and bloom. This year, one bloom. The plant originally was bought on Valentines' Day 2 years ago and almost died as a house plant so he put it out in the yard and it survived.

We had another Lily from Walmart one year that was about dead we put out there and it came back 2 years later in multiple, beautiful blooms. It's about to bloom this year as well, near this yellow one.

What INSPIRATION this morning!!

The white lilies are about to bloom, they have huge bulbs ready.

what a weedy place but I'm so afraid of the little critters that may be slithering under it.........

Speaking of little critters.........she is having a buffet breakfast this morning with love and attention.

And speaking of beauty~~~ NOT! is Raven Louise here who has obviously been down to the pond swimming after geese this morning.

She is still looking pretty puny but we have taken her to the vet. Another visit soon though because I've never seen her so skinny before. But you have to only imagine how it is when BG coaxes her to the back of the truck for a ride to the vet. I'll have to take a video.....and I know I can't by myself so......

onward to the sunshiney day!

Holding sunscreen and benadryl bottle in hand,

Achew!

Two and a half more done, 6 more lines to go!

I'm Lovin' it!

ordered this gold frame today from The Frame Guys on Ebay. They have a GREAT store with reasonable prices and will change the sizes they have for no extra charge. I have framed several pieces using their frames and never disappointed.---The Frame Guys Store

I'm not usually real fond of gold frames but I think this one will be best for a Royal affair.

I almost went with a smaller mahagony with a bit of gold but this one is now ordered. Hope it looks ok.

The good thing about the Frame Guys is they are satsifaction guaranteed and you can send it back if it really is a flop.

nite nite.
