Not much to say about this. I think it came out really cute. I did the stitching and bought a plain board that you can hang up, I let my daughter paint the board and then used tiny clothes pins to hang the stitched piece and photos.
My husband really enjoyed it.
Happy stitching and thank you for stopping by!

I’ve gotten a pretty good start on page 4 this month. This is a little over 1500 stitches on the page.
Still doing well, still stitching, still working, just haven’t felt like blogging. Been feeling kinda “Meh” lately.
Sorry for such a boring post. Hope you’re all doing well and are safe and healthy and enjoying your stitching.
Thanks for stopping by!

I was able to get a page finish on this piece since I last updated! So that was page three done, and I’m now done with the top row of pages on this project.
As you can see I got that page finish quite awhile ago. I just haven’t felt like updating.
