Wild Roses and a couple more finishes

First off I am so excited about this piece. I just love it. It was a very fun stitch. I seem to like long skinny pieces and when I saw this as a shop model I knew I would have to stitch it.

This piece is from Carriage House Samplings. It is called Wild Roses. I Stitched it on 36 count cream with DMC. I did personalize is with my hubby's initials across the top and mine on the bottom. Then going down the left side I put our childrens initials and across on the right hand side I put their spouses initials. Our youngest is not married so I only put the last name initial in. For this piece I went to Joann's with a 50% off plus another $20 off coupon and ordered this frame. I did the framing myself. I am so happy with how it turned out.

Here is just a close up of the top of the piece. I put my own name and dated it 2011.

I stitched and finished my second LHN ornament for 2011. This one was stitched on home dyed 28 count and I used the threads called for in the pattern.

I posted this piece earlier but it was not finished. This is from the 11-08 Gift of Stitching magazine.

These are the last of my 2010 stitches. I just finished them off. The Christmas ornaments came out of JCS magazines and the bottom finish is a BBD freebie.

I just stitched up a couple of pieces in the last few days and I am hoping to get them finished and posted later this week.

Now I am getting ready for an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy!!!! What fun.
Did I mention that I hate having to do those over 50 things!!!
But better safe than sorry, I will be glad when it's over though:)
