WHAT I DID TODAY, AND WHAT WE DID TONIGHT..

Well, today I decided that I was going to accomplish something! I decided to frame some of the cross-stitch pieces I had that needed framing. I do my own framing...I absolutely love looking at professionally framed pieces, but I cannot justify that cost at the moment. The above piece is a favourite of mine....I absolutely love this piece...it is "Emma's Garden" by Lavender and lace....i think she turned out okay!

I cannot remember who designed this chart...and not sure if I even still have it! I like it though and plan on hanging it in my stairway to the family room.

This piece is a kit a bought of Ebay....by Charland Designs I think! It is 'Anne with and E"....and there is a sterling silver hat charm included. This is for my youngest DD. I had a few problems framing this one and it isn't completely how I want it, but I have to purchase a couple of things tomorrow.

I had wanted to frame my Halloween Fairy,who is now finished!! I have a nice frame, but still need to purchase a couple of things to complete that framing, so maybe tomorrow night I will show her.

My son is a homebody..much like myself (and my DH) and he likes to do work around the house/yard, for which he gets paid a bit. Yesterday he levelled off a piece of our backyard, hauled gravel in the wagon that attaches to our lawn mower, and today he and DH got some patio stones and a firepit! We've been wanting a fire pit for a long time, so after DS had it all set up, etc DH, our dog, DS and I went and enjoyed it! DD #1 was working late and DD#2 was at a sleepover, so we will try again tomorrow night and hopefully at least one DD will be there! LOL

Here are some photos of DS, the firepit, and DS and DH and Nallie dog around it....also, a photo of the back of our house from down at the firepit area.

Have a great night everyone!
