Creativity and LK SAL Progress

I can finally display a picture of Creativity as it has been given to its recipients. My DSIL and I decided to do this piece for her parent's 50th wedding anniversary. We did this as a round robin. Not wanting to send it through the mail and because we lived quite a distance apart, this piece has taken quite a while to complete. It turned out to be a real special piece as each of the grandchildren sewed on a charm and my husband also did a row; so the piece has a contribution from all of their progeny. I'm thrilled with how it turned out and even more so when the framing was complete. The gals over at Rocking Horse really do a nice job.


I'm still working on getting the goodies to put with my summer exchange piece. Once I get those and get it mailed out and received, I will post a picture of that piece. It was a real fun, quick stitch although I noticed once the finishing was complete that I forgot to add the seagulls. It looks empty without the gulls, but I'll let you decide when I finally post it.

My DSIL and I have also been working on the LK Double Flips. I finally picked it up again and finished off most of the Love part. I'm sorry about the picture. It has been glum outside so I took the picture in the basement and the lighting isn't the best. This is much more yellowy that it is in real life. For cost savings I've been doing this piece in DMC. So far, I've been happy with all of the colors except for the border. It seemed a bit too light to me. Now that I have that big ole green heart in though, it is looking better. I did end up frogging out the L and part of the heart since I started it down a row. Ugh! Hopefully, that will be the last issue I have with this piece. I'm sorry for the delay in posting, but I haven't had much to show since I've been frogging and the boys have kept me hopping. (maybe that attracted the frog, LOL!) Well, it's time to get some lunch and see if I can get the lawn mowed before the rain drops come again.

Cheers,
