LK Exchange for Conny....

LK "These are the Day"
stitched on 28ct evenweave w/DMC


Conny received my Lizzie Kate Exchange (in record time if I say so myself....traveling all the way to the Netherlands!) The first time I saw this design it made me think of family photos! I had the perfect fabric that I found on an excursion with Amy so I changed the thread colors to match and decided to make finish as a photo album. It was a fun finish if you overlook a few boo-boos! I do hope Conny enjoys it and fills it with memorable photos.

Thanks for visiting.....I just love your comments. Well....if you aren't melting, consider yourself lucky! Where's that snow from February????? I am so ready for winter. I think I will just forgo my fall stitching and dive straight into something wintery! Happy stitching.....

    We've been having some hot and humid weather here in the U.K. and I'm more than ready for the fresher days of Autumn.
