I am again blown away by the work of Bev and Joyce. The frame is a great complement to the stitching. I love how the platinum gold-y finish is such a wonderful match to the linen. This sampler is a petite 8" by 11" and with the great coupon only cost me $23 to frame. Beautiful and a bargain!
Well I'm hoping to stay home the next couple of days. On Christmas Eve our family tradition is a meal of appetizers. My menu includes sweet and sour meatballs, teriyaki chicken on skewers, toasted ravioli, little quiches and greek turnovers (gotta love Costco) and some cold boiled shrimp along with the obligatory cheese dip with veggies and crackers. I'm starting my cooking tomorrow morning and prepping dishes for Christmas day too. And I'm planning a well deserved nap Christmas afternoon. Our weather forecast right now calls for 4 inches of snow on Wednesday - maybe more. We haven't had a big snow fall in a long time and the timing is good since my son doesn't have to go back to work till Friday. I have a feeling we will have plenty of leftovers to keep us happy if we get snowed in... but usually the streets are passable in about 24 hours. I'd be happy to stay inside but others in the house get cabin fever very quickly.
I hope that you have a safe and wonderful holiday.....

Happy stitching-

Wow, that is an incredible framing bargain for your very pretty stitchery. Glad you have a good plan for your holiday fixings (love Costco :)--and are scheduling a nap :) Merry Christmas!
And a very Merry Christmas to you too! Last year we were snowed in, but this year I doubt we'll see a flake. Enjoy your snow for me a bit! :)
What a pretty sampler and you have such a great eye for choosing the perfect frame for each piece. I am always stumped when it comes to that.
You get my vote for a nap on Christmas too!
Once again the gals at Joanne's did you proud Carol. The golden gilt frame is perfect perfect perfect for your accomplished stitching. What a pretty piece - a wonderful gift for you and your family.
