Back from the framer

I got the Red Thread piece back from the framer yesterday. I love it; they did such a good job. It is now proudly hanging on my living room wall.


I guess getting that piece back gave me a bit of motivation to sit down and work on some of my other pieces. Last night I sat down and finished off Lizzie Kate's Hugs & Kisses piece. The kit was missing two tiny yellow buttons that go in the middle of the flowers so I just put a cross stitch there. I'm not sure that I like it so I guess I'll be on a quest for some tiny buttons next time I'm prowling around a craft type shop. That was quite annoying. The boxer kit was sealed with a round sticker type thing yet the kit was missing a needle and those two buttons. If the shop where I got it was closer, I'd have taken it back. Of course, I did start on the piece before I noticed that the buttons were missing. Ugh! Now I just need to finish off the winter 9 patch before it really becomes winter. I take this piece to soccer practices and places where I'm going to be sitting and waiting so it doesn't get concentrated attention.


When we got a cold snap a few weeks back, I had started in on the Fall cleaning. I haven't gotten very far and we are now having an Indian summer. Oh well, cleaning really isn't my cup of tea any way. I sure hope all those green tomatoes I have my vines ripen up before a frost hits. I'm enjoying the warmth as I'm not ready for the colder weather yet. I'm also out a lot watching my boys play soccer. It sure is nice not to be doing this in the cold and rain! I stumbled upon Vonna's recipe blog the other day and found a recipe up for Chicken Gnocchi soup that sounds great. I guess I know one of the first things I'll be making when the cooler weather hits!

Cheers,
