Framed!
Greetings!
How is it already Tuesday? Hmm.. and tax day! Have you finished or are you scrambling around kicking yourself for not starting sooner?!
We’re all set and filed and (already!) refunded! Woohoo, and it’s a good thing, because I’ve been a needlepoint machine this winter!
I realized that it’s been a while since I posted some of my finished needlepoint pieces!
The last few I’ve had framed- some for my office and some for our home.
Here is the “Keep Calm” piece:
The color is a little funky in the picture- I swear it’s a regal purple! This is sitting on the cabinet behind my desk in my office, a great daily reminder!
You can read about stitching the canvas here

The next project that I finished was ‘The Social Drinker”
It never would have occurred to me to go with a red frame (I always end up playing it safe with neutrals!), so this was a wonderful surprise when it came together! The owner of The Frame Man is in my needlepoint class, so she just takes my finished canvases away and returns them in their framed glory!
This was my first real canvas that I experimented with stitches, fibers and beading… you can read all about it: here, here, and here

When we were in St. Croix, I finished this canvas, which was painted by my mom:
Note: If you don’t know the story of the phrase, invite me over for a glass of wine and I’d be happy to explain 
I LOVE it! The canvas is fun, the colors are coordinated and the framing/texture is great!

And, last but not least, one of my favorites! Downward Dog!
Check out that ponytail and awesome stitching! The only thing better is the bling frame!

Oh, and while I was (finally!) hanging all of these around the house, I decided that it was time to fill the empty picture spaces on my jewelry box… finally, after two moves and about 5 years!
