Home is where your honey is....

Post by Crafteresa »

what a surprise :D :dance:
I came across a bag of magazines while having a sort out
and found a Joan Elliot cross stitch book :applesauce:
"Cross stitch Sentiments and Sayings"
then I found a photocopy of one of the charts which I had been coloured in a lot :lol:
then the memory flooded back :doh: :roll: :dance: :dance:
to just after I got married in 2007 :wub:
I bought this book especially for this chart and I started to make it in secret for my Kev :wub: (big softie) to hang in our bedroom!
:wip: then in some tissue paper I found the actual work i had started,
it's over 2 / 3rds completed, I had totally forgotten about it,
I cant remember why I didnt finish it back in 2007
but I showed it to kev and now he is insisting i finish it for him, so being a good wife
I have put it onto my frame and started to work it
here's a photo of it in the book followed by a WIP photo

oh how cute is this
Image
I am just finding it hard to understand how i could have completely forgotten about this lovely chart and work

thank goodness I bought a magnify glass its in 14 count but feels tiny after my 11 count WIP!!! LOL @rotfl:

It is really gorgeous and there is not a lot of work to get it completed.

Its amazing what gets put away and forgotten isn't it. So glad you have found it again and that DH loves it too.
