a big finish and some framing

Here's my "big" finish referred to in the last post.... it's my Blackberrie Sampler by Shepherd's Bush...



hard to get a good photo of the whole thing as it's a little long, so I took several close up shots...







the verse says:
" The blackberie tree is aftr his sort bushy
bearing that fruit that eftsones refresheth
the shepherde"



and if you're like me, and did not, or do not, know what the heck "eftsones" means, well then click here and learn! And you can even hear how it's pronounced :-)




wonder if that word could be worked into a conversion sometime soon :-)



Anyway, on to the framing part of this post. Today I went to the LNS and picked up two things I'd taken in last month.

This is The Song They Sang, by Carriage House Samplings...



it was stitched a while back and I finally got the frame for it last fall...



I have a thing for bird samplers and verses like this one, so I plan on hanging this where I can see it every day!




and here's my Plain & Fancy, also by Carriage House Samplings...



finally mounted into the really super cheap frame I'd found at Tuesday Morning a while back...



which was originally purchased for something else



but ended up being perfect for this sampler. At least I think so ;-)



That's about it for now! Working on another CHS, Westwinds....was finally able to turn the channel from the SB station. For at least one project that is, lol!

Thank you for visiting my blog! And for the sweet and kind comments you take the time to leave for me...I really appreciate them.

Have a great week!

framed mermaid

Here's my framed Mermaid Sampler (design by Barrick Samplers):



This was a frame my LNS already had, so I saved a little on that part of the order. Originally it was supposed to have glass over it but somehow they forgot that, and since I'd waited so long for them to get it done, along with another one I'd taken in, I just went ahead and took it home. I like how it turned out.

And DH had a great time at the concert, just like I'd hoped!

DH was first in line. Too funny!
