The punching for this ditty was completed a couple of weeks ago. It is a gift for my dear~sweet MIL. I did the framing last night.. mounting the punch on a piece of textured wool & trimming with hand spun, wool yarn. For a special touch, I decided to add a little cross stitch to it too. I had thought about writing on a piece of muslin ~ but those of you that know me, know my penmanship is horrible! (It is true!) I stitched on some wee, itty bitty, teeny tiny, scrap of linen the words 'Snowy Days'. The name of the freebie doodle is, of course, ~*Snowy Tony*~ in honor of my sweetheart's birthday... but decided to change the wording to something more common. Oh, did you see I forgot to flip the design before I started the punching? Silly me!
The first birthday party for the weekend is in a couple of hours. Maybe I can sneak in a little more finishing time before we have to leave.
More updates later. Warm smiles to you....
