It's the 10th of the month, so check out Rachel's blog to see all her lovely finishes and the link up for everyone else's.
I had today off, and it was a school day, so I drove off to the local ReSource (Habitat for Humanity thrift shop) and Goodwill stores. I found all I wanted at the first ReSource store, 3 canvases and one rectangular frame. I decided to stop there for now and finish with the materials I had instead of collecting finishing materials as well as finishes.
As an added precaution, I actually measured the size of each finish in my drawer of
If you've picked yourself up from your chairs in shock at all these finishes, here's the photos! :)

The bottom 2 are already hanging up in the house and Somebunny might be a birthday gift for DD, and I Love You More for DH's birthday in a few months.
Happy Stitching and thanks again for the inspiration Rachel!

Wonderful! Great projects and finishes.
ReplyDeleteWell done you!! Four in one day?! I haven't yet picked my chin up off the floor!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, well done. They all look fantastic and just go to show you don't need anything fancy or expensive to FFO a cross stitch. Hope DD and Hubby like their gifts. :)
Wohoo!!! Love them all. Congrats on 4 gorgeous finishes.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the beautiful finishes Tiffany. I love the basset hound.

Oh wow, look at them all, they're fantastic! And you have two perfect gifts!
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects. I love that sweet bunny and I laughed out loud at the I Love You More. I needed to stitch this when my daughter was young :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! And yes, I do love that one as well.
DeleteThat's a lot of finishing, well done! I like your canvas finishes, they are so simple, yet so effective.
ReplyDeleteGreat work and well done on measuring BEFORE you left the house and not just hoping to luck!
