Hey,
Friends!
And
what was going on while I was putting in those final stitches? This beautiful snow was falling! These pics are from this morning, after the
sun came up. Isn’t it beautiful.
From my last
post, there were questions about the type of drill I used to make a hole in the
rusty heart. It is a Dremel-like hand
drill, which I probably got at either Michaels or Hobby Lobby with a % off
coupon. As I said, it was the first time
I used it, so there was a bit of a learning curve! Thinking that the heart may get hot, I
started by trying to hold it with a paper towel. LoL - not a good idea! Then I thought, place it on a piece of
Styrofoam for support. Nope – the drill
slid right off. So, I got the pliers and
held it with one hand on the Styrofoam drilling with the other – that worked! A vise would probably be a good idea if there
are many projects like this one.
Did you see the
lovely finishes over at Laurie’s Corgi Cottage that Faye (Carolina Stitcher) did for
her? If you have some designs all
stitched up, but don’t feel compelled to ‘finish,’ I’ll bet she would be happy
to do some pretty work for you, too!
Thanks for
stopping by, today and always. I
appreciate your thoughts and comments!
May 2013 be
filled with Happy Stitching!
Peace♥Love♥Joy

Beautiful finish! I love it! Beautiful snow too!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!! Beautiful finish. I admire all you BAP stitchers. I have a hard enough time getting through the medium-sized stuff I do! Great job.

ReplyDeleteHooray and congratulations on your terrific finish!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for tips on the drill thingy - might take my coupon over there and see what I can find......
Beautiful snowy pix.
Your finish is wonderful Charlene!! A huge congratulations!!! The snow is pretty too, but between you and me, I'm ready for the snow to go somewhere!! LOL
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a lovely sampler, pretty snow pic ~ wishing you a pleasant week to come...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your Finish, Mary Gibson looks lovely. Wow you did get some snow, we lucked out here in middle Georgia.
ReplyDeleteMary Gibson is lovely, lovely, lovely! Many happy congratulations :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a gorgeous finish! Wow, you sure did get some snow, didn't you. Ours melted very quickly here.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous finish, congrats.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snow pictures!!
I just love Mary Gibson and have thought about stitching her. My concern is that I don't like 40 ct, my eyes are just too old. I can do 36 but she will be big at that count. Just not sure.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Mary G sampler, love the colors
ReplyDeleteThe snow is pretty too
Beautiful finish Charlene! I'm so jealous...no snow here. Just a few minutes on and off of sleet which did build up against the fence. Oh well....maybe next year!
ReplyDeletehappy stitching on your next project....
Beautiful sampler and snow!!
ReplyDeleteBig congrats on finishing Mary G! She is a lovely sampler!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish!! I stitched her to!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Debby
Congrats on finishing Mary G. She's fabulous! Love your other projects as well. Do you still have snow? We just got home and have lots of catching up to do......
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finish!
ReplyDeleteYou got more snow than we did!
Have a great week.
Woo hoo!!! Congrats on the finish Charlene! It turned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy boys would be so jealous over all that snow. We didn't even get a flurry here! :)
Congratulations on a very beautiful finish. Faye's finishing for Laurie is amazing.
ReplyDeleteMary looks great. I always like being inside all cosy and warm when it is cold and snowy outside. There is no better way, in my opinion, to pass the time than stitching.
ReplyDeleteCharlene, this is just gorgeous!!
