It Takes Me So Long

to accomplish so very little. You can see the date on the sampler and I am just finishing it. It is a cross stitch wedding fraktur for a very dear friend. I like it so much I plan to make one for myself. ( A Pennsylvania German document (as a birth or wedding certificate) that is written in calligraphy and illuminated with decorative motifs (as tulips, birds, and scrolls)

Well, not really. It took some time before I got it to the framers.


While they are great framers they tend to be slow. Fits right in with my personality.


Now I need to find a box, wrap this gift and get it packaged to mail. This has been hanging around since the week after Thanksgiving. I really must do better at getting things done.

Since I did not put this in as a finish last year, I am counting it for this year. It is my list and I can do that if I want to.

I couldn't decide on the best picture so put them all up.

Hmmm I used to do cross stitch, my eyes aren't good enough now! Good for you to "get 'er done" Suze!
Thanks for the blog comment I have to make another of these stained glass because youngest DS loves it too!
