Psssst.....

Do you want in on a little secret????
(whispering voice)

IT'S DONE!!!
(in a much louder voice, imagine me shouting)

I made the final satin stitch, on this hot Sunday afternoon,
on the antique reproduction
Ann Dickinson - 1819 Sampler.

I plan on spending this evening
just looking at it,
loving it,
admiring it,
&
I might even throw in
a happy dance
or two!!

If I drank wine,
I'd pop a cork in celebration
of this finish,
but since I don't,
I'll eat blue cotton candy- flavored
salt water taffy instead...
{sigh}

And just a little note,
about a comment
from Lyn
in regards to yesterday's post...
The post about my short-legged cow sampler.
Well,
you see,
Lyn thinks my cow
looks like a Corgi with horns...
I'm trying my hardest not to
ROFLMHO!
And if you don't know what that means,
well,
just imagine me laughing real real hard
with blue teeth
and blue tongue
from all the salt water taffy
I've consumed today...
(do you have a visual yet???)
Thanks Lyn for making me laugh!!


Have a good week everyone,
Brenda

  9. Congrats on your finish! I loved your comments about spending the night looking at the piece and studying it and looking and looking again. That's how I feel when I finish a piece - can't keep my eyes off it (until I find a missed stitch or too and then it's back to the needle and thread). I can't even imagine the joy of finishing for a desiner. Our industry is so fortunate to have you share your talents with us all. Thank you.
