teachers1.jpgWell, I finished the kids teachers end of the year gifts…. just need to frame them.  Don’t know if I’ll be able to literally wait till the end of the school year to have the kids give them to them.  Never have been too good with keeping a surprise.  I get that from my mother for sure!

ogentlewords.jpgAlso just finished what I affectionately called my momentary stitching nemesis.  I think I had more un-stitching to do on this piece than I actually put in.  For some reason I read the chart incorrectly and used a different color for the ferns that I was supposed to.  Needless to say, I frogged them all and put in the correct color.  For some reason there is something within myself that will not allow me to have it different than the chart.  The other frogging I had to do was to remove part of the border… apparently I was tired, and I turned my linen and forgot which way was up, so my cross stitch went the wrong way.  I am glad to have it completed.  Now I just have to find someone to give it to, after-all, if I keep it, I know I’ll just grumble at what I had to go through to finish the simple thing.  It really is pretty though.

After finishing up those projects, I have made progress on my Angel Songangelssongprogress.jpgI’m enjoying the pretty colors.  Last night I finished the one over one in the words row, and now I’ll get to have several rows of two over two… lots of thread changes with the hillside, but it looks so pretty I can’t wait to do it!
