Finished "Joy in the Journey"....

Thank you for some many wonderful comments on Rainbow Row....it is now at the framers and can't wait to see it "finished".

More importantly .............I have my third finish in one week! This amazing for me! After Rainbow Row, I was itching to start something new, but decided to stick with my latest WIP and finished it up today. I loved stitching this and can't wait to get it framed.

Now...I can get busy stitching my Pals exchange items for the October convention. I have several things ready to go and now I just have to start stitching.

Happy stitches .....

"Joy in the Journey" & BBD "Evergreen"....

Yesterday, I was lucky to stitch with Amy. Renae, Linda, Deb, and Faye and had a wonderful time making some new stitching friends. We had a lot of fun talking and laughing and stitching, believe it or not. After a little shopping at Down Sunshine Lane, we got down to business and I got a lot of stitching done on a new start.

I had started it a couple of weeks ago and love stitching it. I figured being in my To Do pile for 10 years was long enough and decided to not neglect anymore!

Once finished....it will look like this. Isn't this pretty?

Lastly....I finally finished "Evergreen" after picking up some more thread yesterday.

I changed Palomino and Havana to Collards and Kudzu since I wanted it "greener". This was a fun stitch and I will probably frame it someday.

Thanks for looking and happy stitches.....
