Hope everyone is doing well. I am just trying to prepare myself mentally for winter, the holidays and the cold weather. This is my least favorite time of the year because I detest cold weather. I am a Florida gal through and through and much prefer 80's to 30's.
At any rate, enough of that. Now on to the good stuff. I finished and framed Happy Camper this week. It took me 5-1/2 months to complete this and is a BAP to me. It is 8x10 of solid stitches. I posted a photo for my sister-in-law and she loved it. I will probably wait until after the rush of the holidays to mail it to her.
I did the framing myself. I ordered the frame and mat from here and I couldn't be happier. The quality is excellent.
I also have a small finish I did for my November challenge. It is a freebie from here. I used the some of the dyed Monaco I showed you last time and I really love it.
My goals for 2017: I am trying to work on larger projects. My sons have been complaining that I haven't made them anything. So I will be working on this. As far as smalls, I really need more Easter/spring designs so I am going to concentrate on that and christmas ornaments.
Let me know what your goals are so we can motivate each other.
TFL and have a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteLove your version of CDC, it looks amazing in that colourway.
I'm also hoping to focus on fewer but larger projects next year.
Nice stitching, Mary!
ReplyDeleteYour two FFOs look gorgeous to me and Circle des Cirques is amazing! Good luck with your new start, too.
