My First 2007 Finish


My Bent Creek Spring Snapperland is done! I am thrilled with how it came out. I change the colors in the border, brown flowers aren't my thing, so I did them in WDW Sweetheart Rose and GAST Antique Rose. I also changed the chicken coop section. My grandmother always lived in a house in the country and kept chickens. Some of my fondest childhood memories include staying with her and collecting eggs. Once I found a snake in the coop but that's a whole different story, LOL. I wanted to remember my grandmother, Audie Pearl, by stitching a cute little old lady with a bun and a dress. She was just the sweetest person.

I am on to Drawn Thread Sampler Game Board. I have joined a Stitchalong and I need to stitch four blocks :-). It is suppose to be a very cold weekend, temperatures aren't getting out of teens and we are expecting snow, good excuse to stay home and stitch. We are planning a relaxing weekend in front of the fireplace, lots of movies, games and hot coffees. My DH has been mumbling under his breath about moving to Florida for two days, LOL. I hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Your BC finish is so pretty. I love your PIF fob, it is so pretty. I love hardanger designs.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and left me comments.

I am an accountant as well but have been staying home in the last 3 years since I have my son. I am not that lucky, eventually in about 2 years or so, I will need to go back to work full time.
