Hey, Friends!
I found this frame at a thrift store or sale bin,
and when I measured Eve’s Garden, she was the perfect size! After dusting it off with a bit of polish, I
let her sit behind the frame for a week or so to see if they matched, and
decided they did. I started trying to stretch the piece, but the verse and
lines were NOT working with me, the frame needed glass, so I took it to my LNS
to have them do it! Picked it up yesterday, and I love her! How do you think she
turned out?
Since finishing Eve, I’ve been stitching the monthly
Word Play pieces. As of now, November is about half way done.
Watched season two of Revenge over the Labor Day
weekend. A real soap opera, isn’t
it? On my way out the door for work Tuesday
morning, I pulled my back out, so sick leave off work allowed extra hours of
stitching and TV watching, too. I found
some things that I liked on Amazon instant video – Season three of Downton
Abbey and Brothehood.
Some other things I watched and liked recently on
Netflix are The Fall (Jillian Anderson), Orange is the New Black, Call the
Midwife. I’ve caught up on Mad Men, Breaking
Bad, Season 4 Damages.
Thanks for stopping by, today and always. I really do enjoy reading your thoughts and
comments even though sometimes I fail to respond directly!
May 2013 be filled with Happy Stitching!
Peace♥Love♥Joy

Good for you finding a great frame! I hope your back comes back to normal real quick!
ReplyDeleteGosh, hope you are feeling better! That frame is a really good fit for Eve's Garden--you have a great find there! See you in about a month at MB, right? Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLove your Eve piece -- the frame is wonderful! I hope your back is feeling better really soon. Nice to have extra stitching time, but even so. Feel better!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful frame, and Eve looks wonderful in it! Back pain is not fun! Hope it is feeling better soon! Sounds like you've found a lot of good things to watch. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish and the frame is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI think it's perfect. Really lovely. Isn't it great to happen upon just the perfect frame? I love when that happens.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your back is better. You found a perfect frame for Eve's Garden. I am watching season one of Homeland. I am looking forward to seeing your Wordplay finishes.
ReplyDeleteHow come I never find anything good at the thrift store? (My suspicion is that I don't know how to look!) I love your finish. Good call on letting the professionals take care of it! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish Charlene!! I love the frame!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great find, Charlene--the frame accents your beautiful finish just perfectly :) You've been so good at keeping up with the monthly Wordplays. I really fell short this year--have only finished January and April. BUT, they will all get done, eventually :)
ReplyDeleteThe only way to watch a show like Revenge is all at once. It is a bit confusing, but I'm hooked, too! Will have to check out some of the others you recommended...there don't seem to be many exciting new shows coming out this fall, unfortunately.
Have a lovely weekend--I'll be working :(
Great find, Charlene. We just had something framed. $$$$, yikes! Hope you're feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteHope your back is feeling better! That frame is perfect and such a beautiful finish. So very pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely framed piece - congrats! I hope you'll be feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteEve's Garden looks Beautiful in the lovely frame you found. Hope your back is better and you are up and about:) I love the frame (i just looked at it again).
ReplyDeletelove Annette
Looks really great... I think they fit together perfectly :)
ReplyDeleteOh Charlene, I think the frame is absolutely a perfect fit. It looks great! Hope you are recovering from your back mishap.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Jackie:)
I think you were very fortunate in your find. I never find nice ones like that, though I've been looking for one for a while, but for a special piece of paper, not a stitchery. Your needlework is, as always, exquisite! I watched all of Continuum (only 10 episodes so far!) and now I'm working through Fringe, more than half way to the end. What I love is that if I'd watched these in the original, I'd have had to wait a week with cliffhangers, but now I can just move right into the next episode! Someone else I know liked Orange is the New Black, too. I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI think she looks good in the frame!
ReplyDeleteHope your back is better now.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
