ANOTHER FINISH....

This is my latest finish. It is by designer, Pineberry Lane. Called Pet Companion Memorial Sampler. I want to frame this one too. I will be using that coupon from Michaels to just buy the frame and glass and I will put it together myself. I used the called for DMC and Hand dyed floss. I stitched it on a hand dyed linen. It has Thdarker veins of tan running through it. If you enlarge you may can see them better.
Rebel will always be missed. She shared her life with us for 16 years. DH is still wanting to get another dog. We have the 2 cats but he is a dog person. I am not ready for that.. Just now got BK where she will use the outside instead of using the inside litter box.. We are still calling her BK. DH calls her Beeker.. She comes to both names...

This is what I am working on now. Blackbird Designs - Anniversaries Of The Heart. I am on the second block. The first block is stitched with the year 1970, when we lived in Michigan and has the first letters of mine, my mom's and dad's name. Also has the Mich for Michigan.  This second block with have the year DH and I married 1981 and our first names under the potted heart flower.  It is really a fast stitch. I only had the border and potted flower stitched when I picked it back up this week.
I have the 2 grand kids today. Their mom had a doctors appointment today. It has been never ending laughs at the things they will say and do at ages 5 and 3. Caught the boy child sitting on my scooter helmet. He said he was laying an egg.... I took a picture and sent it to his mom.. He then had to look at the picture.. he said that he had to hurry and get back on his egg so that it could hatch!  Then Sister jerks the helmet out from under him and puts it on her head and says she is a moon walker!  Never ending fun at Gigi's house!
They are both playing and I am sitting here watching Dora The Explorer on the TV.. maybe I can learn spanish from Dora!  lol
Till Later......

Love Rebel's memorial sampler...very touching! Sounds like you and the grans are having a great day together too.

Progress on AOTH is coming along very nicely. Love the personalizations you have chosen, they will really finish it off perfectly.
