Another finish!

Well, I got the finishing done on Be Scary and got it mailed off to my mom for her birthday. The bad news is that since I was out of town on Mon & Tues, I hurriedly packaged it up on Wednesday neglecting to take a picture of the finishing in the rush. Oh well, I'll ask her to get a picture of it and mail it to me once she receives it.

I finished Chocolate Covered Cherries on my way out of town Sunday afternoon. I've opted to leave out the confetti stitches, although I may end up adding them. I plan to finish this one into a pin keep. I threw a Teresa Layman design into my bag while packing for out of town. It is a cute little knot work piece with a squirrel and an acorn. In my haste, I neglected to pull the flosses, so I didn't have any stitching to work on. Since we were on Mackinac Island, there wasn't a local cross stitch store to run to. Oh well, it was nice just to relax. The knot work is turning out to be rather fun. I've had this kit for ages because it was so cute, but this is the first I've ever tried it. It seems to be finishing up quickly, so I should have a picture to post soon. Since I would go absolutely batty without something to do on the long drive home, I ended up hitting a bookstore and finding a new author. Her name is Cynthia Baxter and she writes a series about a vet with sleuthing tendencies. Hopefully, it will turn out to be enjoyable; I'll let you know. Enjoy the weekend!
