I finally got Mr. Mittens framed! I finished him in June 2012. This was a Janlynn kit that someone gave me. Then I had a giveaway drawing and passed the chart on to another stitcher. I found this natural wood frame at a yard sale for a dollar. It was brand new and from Ikea. My friend Beth the framer mounted it and cut purple and green mats that match just perfectly!

I'm almost finished with
Mary's Sampler II, the free Mystery SAL from Plum Street Samplers. Part 9 is almost done except for the red flowers around the border and one more crown in the blank space on the right side.

Here I am in my usual stitching position with a cat or two, watching the Olympics and stitching!
Teddy usually sits next to me but he's getting so darned BIG, he takes up half the couch! I took him to the vet on Friday and he weighs 131 pounds! The animal shelter told us he was a Labrador when we adopted him 3 years ago. Hmmmm... vet says he must be part Mastiff, of course!
I love your frame. What a deal! Your adorable dog is a BIG bundle of love.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of you and the critters. Glad I don't have a big dog that tries to sit with me. lol
ReplyDeleteMr. Mittens looks great in that frame with the mats. Mary's Sampler is almost done.

ReplyDeleteMittens turned out great! And I have to chuckle at your pets... that dog is definitely too big for anyone's lap!
ReplyDeleteThat's one cheerful snowman! And the frame is perfect. That's what I look like too, but with 3 or 4 cats next to me minus the huge dog! Nice family you've got Debbie!
ReplyDeleteLove the framing on Mr. Mittens, it's beautiful. Enjoyed the photos of your critters--Teddy looks like he is trying to read your chart in the one photo. He looks like a real sweetheart.

ReplyDeletegreat framing, love the design. And your dog and cats are cute, love the pics.
ReplyDeleteThose mats rand the frame really set off your bright stitching. The right frame makes all the difference. You are so lucky knowing a framer! I enjoyed seeing your stitching seat but not sure how you can get much done with Teddy snuggled up beside you!
