I've had six finishes since the last WIPocalypse update! I finished Cackle, Trick or Treat, Spring & Fall (April), Santa's 12 Days of Christmas (Day 2), a Butterfly ornament, and a long lost UFO from 1998! Welcome Cottage was all stitched except for the word, "Welcome," which I finished and framed today. The kit came with the printed mat.

I also added backstitching to Dog House Sampler, which I finished last year but I was never happy with it since the dog bone and fence blended into the fabric. Now it's framed in a perfect blue and brown frame that I bought at a thrift store.
