Here are two summer finishes waiting to be 'finished-finished' . . . .
This first one is the 2nd kit from the 2013 Ladies Prim Society. I love the beautiful corals and greens with a touch of blue that were called for. The design is Song of Spring and it's from Blackbird Designs. I changed the colors on the "D, E, G and J" for my grandmother's initials and inserted her birth year 1896. I love the prim yellow linen from R&R productions although I would have preferred it in 36 or 40 ct. My tastes have really changed in the last few years where I prefer the look of a closer weave.
My second finish this summer was Betsy's House from Plum Street Samplers.
I can't wait to have it framed.
Not bad for a summer of procrastination! Now to take on the house. Take care.
I hope life settles down for you. Beautiful finishes
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely Christine! I can commiserate with you on retirement yearnings..I'm about 2 years away. Originally was going to work longer but due to various reasons I've shortened the plan. One day at a time and it will get here sooner than you think! Hmmm...homes without A/C...hard to imagine to this desert-dweller LOL. I think even if I lived there I'd have to have at least a room air conditioner just in case! I hate being hot.
