My mother commented this morning that I haven't updated my blog for awhile. Decided I better get busy and post something!
I'm excited to share these photos with you. I took the Lady's Worke Box class with Ellen Chester back in 2012. I was pretty diligent about finishing the stitching and soon after, I finished the smalls. Despite the excellent instructions provided by Ellen, I just couldn't bring myself to finish the box. I asked Tricia, the finisher from Crosse Stitchery in LaCrosse, WI if she would finish it and voila! It's all finished now!
The front of the box:

The inside of the box (finished in silk; note the pockets):

The top of the box could be reversed if you wanted the stitching on the outside:

Love it! Thanks Tricia for sharing your awesome finishing talents with me!
This morning I picked green beans from the garden. There are more out there waiting to be picked! I love fresh green beans!

Here's what I'm working on these days. It's A Stitcher's Pocket from Catherine Theron.
