Patriotic Makeover

A couple years ago I bought this cross stitch at a thrift store. It was matted in a frame and just needed some priming up. I unfortunately did not get a before picture, I was too eager to get it out of the blue mat. I tea dyed it, painted a smaller frame and now it make me happy!

My last month and a half in pictures

Patriotic Pinkeep Swap

Wendy from Ravenwood Whimzies held the swap and she was also my partner. Isn't this the cutest patriotic mouse pinkeep? I love it! Thank you so much Wendy!

I'm making Wendy another pinkeep because in all the craziness of end of school PTA, Girl Scouts, band concerts and working concerts for band trips --I didn't read through the rules.
