An Apple a Day - framed!

I stitched this for my mother's neighbor. My mom found an old frame and painted it just the right shade of red! I signed the back but didn't stitch my initials. I think I will start to do that from now on.

My first finish of 2011!

This was the first cross stitch project I tried to stitch after my car accident.  I wanted an easy warm-up piece, just to see if I could still do it!  Then the Crazy January Challenge came along, so it fell to the wayside.  My mom has been bugging me to finish it, since it's a gift to her neighbor.  I finished it last night, and today I'm looking for just the right 5x7 frame.

An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away!

I am warming up my stitching fingers on this simple cross stitch picture.  I bought it at a thrift store for 25 cents.  I will give it to my mom's neighbor, who actually has a custom-made mailbox shaped like an apple, that also says "a day" on the post!  This is my progress after two days:

Tomorrow is the first day of the Crazy January Challenge!  I'm so excited to start!
