Amees "Casey"

Post by ameesqt »

So I needed another HAED to put into my rotation. And since my birthday was the day after Christmas and I got a Visa gift Card I decided to go on a HAED spending spree. Here is the one I have been working on.
Image

As you can tell its from my favorite artist Jasmine Beckett Griffith. I have been working on it for about 2 weeks.

I felt drawn to this one because the Faery looks like my sons Girlfriend. I met her when she was 14 and she came over for my other sons birthday party. She saw my Cross stitching sitting out and was excited to show me her embroidery. I joked to my older son that I just met my future daughter in law! Little did I know that she would date my younger son 6 years later! (She is 3 years older than him) but they are perfect for each other. She wants me to show her how to cross stitch!

That's great progress and looks a nice deisgn to do as well.
What a lovely story about your son's girlfriend. :wub: Maybe you can invite her to join us on here and show off her stitching as well once you've got her started. Then we can all join in with cheering her on!

The confetti stitching is driving me crazy! Thats why there is so much Black done, when I need a break of all the confetti, I just switch to black~!
