Peek @ 2 new designs. Finished and framed


Autumn's Abundance



What a beautiful day it was here. Spent time @ the shop washing floors, laying down rugs, putting wire shelves together, and putting up curtains. I also finished this morning ironing and pinning the two new designs and framing. Did you know that is so hard to take a picture of something that is behind a glass frame. It was so hard, I had to get rid of so many pictures because there was reflection in the glass. But I got one that I liked, yeah!!.

I also took a few pictures of how I framed Funky Flower Jessica.


I just picked up a quick and easy frame from the children's sections at Joanne Fabric and I got some matching paint. I painted the top of the frame a purple color and let it dry.



Then I used some crackle product that I had at home and applied it on top of the purple and then applied the white paint. I always rush it along by using my blow dryer and watching it crackle. (Just like a kid).



And voila!! The finished frame. It was quick and not to expensive. $1.99 for the frame and then the cost of the paint. It was easy too because I have made the Funky Flowers so that they fit into a 4X6 frame if you stitch them on 14ct Aida or 28ct linen over 2.

Have a good night

  3. Your newest design is very pretty and so is the latest Funky Flower! I love how you framed it. I haven't used crackle in awhile, but it is a lot of fun!

  4. I'm going to have to give that a try with one of my frames. It's simple enough, even for me!
    I love your new design. I'm having trouble keeping up my stitching with all the new releases. Don't stop them though, just keep them coming!
