More Summer Basket

I was stitching away over the weekend! I'm happy to tell you that my urge to stitch has come back to me.  Part of it is the encouragement that you all send my way.  You know how it is when you know something is pretty and you like it, but your enthusiasm wanes?  But then a friend gives you a compliment and you can get all excited about it again?  That's what's happened here.  Some very sweet online and face to face friends have spurred me on!

More excitement...I had a wonderful afternoon with Linda (no blog, but working on it) recently where we stitched and ate and then headed over to JoAnn's with our framing coupons in our hot little hands!  I had decided to frame Spring Violets and Lo How a Rose, and I was glad to have Linda with me to help bounce mat and frame ideas around.  Let me tell you....I haven't had anything professionally framed in years, so it was very exciting!  I think they'll be ready in a couple weeks.

Anyways, here is where I left off with Summer Basket on Sunday evening:

What beautiful colors! This is a pretty piece and I'm glad you're on your way to a finish! Can't wait to see your framing!

Friends make everything better, even stitching and eating, which are pretty darn good to begin with. Add in the shopping and you had a perfect combination. I'm so glad the mojo is back.

Such a nice project. And what a progress you were making on it! Stitching on nice projects certainly helps, too, to get out of a stitching slump.

Gee, I go away for a while to the beach and I miss 7+ posts from you!! You've been a super-blogger this week, Lee! Wish I could capture some of that for myself--I seem to have dwindled down to twice a month :(

I'm loving this piece--looks like a nice and relaxing summer stitch. Can't wait to see the frames that you and Linda selected for your flower pieces. Would you believe I've never had anything professionally framed? But, that will change with Christmas at HRH--better start saving my money now :)
