Hello blog friends. Thanks for the lovely words on my last finish post.
What a diff'rence a day made, 24 little hours (so the song goes, actually it's been two days since I posted). I'm so excited to share with you now my framing achievement! But before that, let's have some more stitching progress on not one- but two WIPs! I'm making most of what's left of my work-free week.

Away We Ride

Okay, now that we got those out of the way... Oooh, I'm really so happy to be posting about this. Here's the frame I bought weeks ago from Michael's, at less than $5 with the sale and extra coupon:
Doesn't it look almost like the one on the magazine?
TA-DA!
Finished, polished, of course I didn't bother wrapping this labor when I presented it to a surprised (he had to act the part) DH. He was really pleased at how it turned out, so much so he almost played it on the record player (okay that's too much acting! haha). But I'm so sure he was genuinely pleased for he allowed me to borrow these for another round of photo shoot:
These are what's on his cd playlist right now so I had to be content. Asking for the real LPs will be really pushing it, LOL (...maybe when I stitch his favorite Album cover, hmmm).
On other stuff, I'm still having issues with the net connection every now and then. I'm slowly catching up with the bloglist which I'm doing alphabetically. That's why there's a lot of stitching time going on. The brother-in-law arrived late last night (flights got delayed from Japan and New Jersey) and this morning I got the new charts I asked my brother to search for. Three (OOP) Mirabilia patterns...which I don't have any plans of starting yet, I just like the idea of having the patterns on hand (crazy).
Thanks for visiting. Happy Stitching!
