Framed!!

 Good Morning,

How are you?  It's Thursday and my weekend will start soon.  I've decided to not work tomorrow!  YAY  The thought of multiple conference calls was just too much - especially when one of them was moved from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. - not a good thing on a Friday.  Yesterday I emailed all my bosses telling them I needed to take Froday off.  

This should be a quick post.  Today is rather busy - I've got my usual financial reports to get out and then Fletch and I need to run out.  His phone died the other day, so that has got to be replaced.  This afternoon I have a call with one of my bosses to review his organization.

Anyway, you all know I do a bit of stitching but don't really have anything framed these days.  I have some pieces framed from long ago and they are hanging in various places, but neither Fletch nor I want a house filled with needlework.  However, there is one piece that I've wanted to have framed.  It will be for Colin as it's the one piece of needlework I've done that he likes.  It is A Parrot, A Leopard, A Lion from The Scarlet Letter.  Last Fall I found a frame in a thrift store that I thought would work.  


And finally I got around to taking the stitched piece and the frame to a local framer last Thursday.  Yesterday I received a call that it was ready to pick up.  It was a tight fit (and, in fact approximately 1/8" of stitching is hidden), but I am so pleased with the way it turned out!


  Sorry for the glare - it was difficult to find anyplace to get a picture of this yesterday afternoon.

The decision now is whether to tell Colin, or wait until he comes up to PA to show him then.

OK - gotta run and get to work.  Have a good Thursday everyone!
