Finally - it's framed. If framing wouldn't be that ridiculous expensive I would have done it earlier already. But it's SO worth to safe up the money and have it professionally done. Our framer and his wife both do stitching themselves and know how to treat needlework. I gave him free hand for the matting and I'm pleased with the result.
The plan was to hang it up today, but then we got called for an emergency to my in laws and ended up spending quite some while in hospital. Where we're heading now to also.
On stitching front I finished page 7 of "Coming to Water", and started stitching an exchange piece. I also found finally the perfect fabric for the Dragonfly Boudoir Box AND am in the process of kitting up "Manhattan Wonderland"
And there is also some good news. My youngest daughter turned 18. And she is partying since couple of days....lol. THANK GOD today is the last day of that. We're expecting a quite large group of youngsters who (thankfully) will head direction pub around midnight. Here a picture of the happy girl
