BEWARE Finishes

In my last post I showed you a Plum Street Sampler 

design I had stitched.  As I mentioned I had actually

stitched two of them and was able to get them finished.

One into a pinkeep with black wool and a bit of 

crocheted lace.

And the other I put on top of a fabric covered box 

trimmed with some of the cotton chenille trim I dyed over

the summer months.  The trim came out a perfect 

dark orange color and really matches well.

I painted the inside burnt sienna and added a 

little cross stitched piece to the underside of 

the lid.

 I'm currently stitching a Stacy Nash design called

"Black Horse".  It's coming along pretty well

and now I'm on to the border.  This may take awhile.

Not sure if I'll end up framing it or making it into a

pillow.  It will be rather large.  About 8 to 9 inches.

Of course I'll stain it once it's stitched so it will

be more drab and prim.

I'm going to decorate the house today for Fall/Halloween, 

so I'm hoping to get some pics to post.  

I love this time of year.

Wishing you all a beautiful day!
