I've been terribly lazy this past week or so and have hardly turned the computer on, never mind blogged, but I have enjoyed the rest and have accomplished a few finishes and finishing, here is one I stitched quite a long time ago, this is what I strted with for the finishing - Can you guess what its going to be??
The design is called French Heart and its by Shepherds Bush it came as a kit and included the silk thread and the fabric (32ct) and included a wonderful little shoe.
I actually completed this design about 3 or 4 years ago, but could never decide whether I wanted to frame it or finish it as something, I didn't really want to make a cushion of it. So I looked in my finishing box of beads etc and found some heavy lace that I had and some beads and ribbon
and I finally came up with the idea of making it into a bag, which is now hanging from my mirror, I was quite pleased with how it has turned out.

Waow !! Sue ! what an incredible idea ! I stitched mine one year ago and I can't find any suitable frame ! I even thought of ordering the Jill Rensell's one ! But your idea of turning it into a bag is to be studied thoroughly ;-))))

So pretty and what a clever way to finish your piece.
I finished an ornament that was 30 yrs old-do I get a golden star? I can't believe I waited so long to add a few finishing touches to it.
Have a great new year!!

Happy New Year to you Su!! I just love your French Heart! It is a tempting pattern for me to get after seeing yours. It doesn't look nearly as nice in the store display on a web site as yours does!! It is just really beautiful!! Debby
