Framed!

So last week saw me getting two of my pieces back from the framers, though I wasn't expecting them to be ready until this week at least , it was a happy surprise.
 I am very happy with how they turned out.

  Close up of the frame .

  This one was quite hard to get a good picture of. The mount is actually a dark blue/grey .

 Love them both. Got to start saving up for the next ones now . It may take a while .

 The Young Voices concert was amazing, much better than I had expected . Laura Wright sang a couple of songs . She has a beautiful voice . I could have sat and listened to her all night. We were also entertained by  The Beatbox Collective in between the schools singing , and Urban Strides ,a street dancing group were there too. Fantastic !

 Thanks for dropping by ,

Frosty mornings

I love a good frosty morning. I would much rather it be very cold than it be wet . You can wrap up warm , but staying dry on the school run is virtually impossible.
 Anyway, frosty mornings are even better when welcomed with a sky like this.

  The pictures do not even begin to do it justice , and it got even better .

  Sometimes ,we need a little reminder of why it's good to be here .

  My latest stitchy finish , completed this afternoon.

 I'm quite happy with the way it turned out.
  Busy day tomorrow, and exciting. Once the shopping is done , I'm off to the framers to pick up two of my stitched finishes , then later we are off to Sheffield arena to the Young Voices concert , as my Daughter is singing with our school. All good stuff.
Thanks for dropping by ,

Heeere's Dandy.

I went and collected Dandy Dreams from King Street Framers yesterday. I was really excited to have it back , and they didn't let me down. Gary has done a wonderful job as usual.

It's a pain trying to get good photos without flash glare and reflections but I did my best.Arty shot , lol .Fraser checking it out for me . It is now hanging up on the wall , just got to wait and see if anyone notices , lol .

I'll be back soon with more pics .

Thanks for dropping by ,

Look what is back...

from the framers !

We were very excited yesterday to get a phone call from the framers saying that the Eagles were ready to be collected. Especially as they are normally closed on Sundays . This time of year means extra work for everyone I guess. So , without further ado :This one is mine

And this one is my husbandsPlease ignore the smudgy fingerprints , we'd only just got them into place and I couldn't wait to take some photos. I'm really glad they're done , and though they cost a lot to have framed , I think it was worth it as we wouldn't be able to make them look anywhere near as good.

Also , it's going to be my only "BIG" finish this year as I won't be able to finish Christmas Recipe in time. I haven't done any this last couple of weeks ,and I'm not even half way through yet. I don't mind , I'm glad to see these up on the wall and I'll carry on with my Christmas one until it's done. At least I've got plenty of time for next Christmas lol.

no other news , still not finished my little bits ,so need to get cracking on them.

Thanks for dropping by , Cath x
