Welcome back to my blog..I have some project pics for you! Dave and I have both been busy crafting this winter :)
Here is a piece I did for Dave's mom. I am ashamed that I have not finished it, yet. It gave me a bit of grief, I found a mistake pretty far in and did not want to frog it all for one stitch. So...I ended up duplicating the mistake on the other side. That is harder than you think. I should not do mirror image stitching projects :)

I made this and I am very unhappy with how it turned out. The picture doesn't show the problem....if you are looking at it from a ways off...or at an angle...the word 'tinsel' does not show up. I should have frogged it and replaced it...but no...I'm not one to do the smart thing. Mom finished it up ( I should also mention that I picked a totally inappropriate backing fabric, as well...it has a design that needs to be upright. Let's just say that's not how it worked out. My mom did the finishing...she called me to tell me about the material I picked and by that point I was so frustrated I told her to just go ahead and make it! lol.

Monopoly is going well...but I have recently lost my stitching mojo :( It's so close, too! We decided on the original Monopoly board center...the one without the little man on top. (Elaine did the newer verson) I can't imagine ever having enough money to frame it...but we will see. In a perfect world you could put it under a glass topped coffee table and actually use it! Ah, to dream :)

Much to my mother's shock (I had to make sure she was sitting before I told her), I got out my one UFO and worked on it a few weeks ago. It's going to be a tree skirt/table topper and I started it in October of 1999. It's not a bad stitch..I don't know why I put it 'away'.
