Oh, Goody A Finish. . . .

doesn't even begin to tell you how I feel

about finally being done with

this piece of

needlework!

I have worked on it for months and now I can do a BIG

HAPPY DANCE!

YEA!!! YEA!!! YEA!!!

I so want to send Bob an email

and tell him he can keep his Seaside Sweethearts cause I

now have my OWN!!!

Am I bad?

Before I started the sea grass I put my name in ecru

on one side and the date on the other.

Then I started the sea grasses. After each section was done

I took a picture so I have a running photographic

commentary on this piece.

I finished at last and then I sprayed the whole piece with

Zout and put in the sink to soak. About 4 hours later I went

and washed it and rinsed it.

My, was it dirty, you could see the dirt

that had floated up to the top of the water.

Then I ironed it while it was still wet, until dry, and it is

ready to stretch.

I will try to do that tonight but it may

be tomorrow.

Have my frame and mats safely hidden

so they won't be used for something else

like with my Tiger Eyes!

Yes it will be so nice!

I will post another picture when I have it framed. It will look

so much better when I am done with that.

Framing does so much for a naked piece it brings it all together!

I'm done, I'm done and have I told you I am done?

As always thank you so much for looking your

"encouragement"

has meant so much to me and helped me stick with it!

Many Blessings!
