Finally Finished!!

 This morning we headed up to Olympia for Patrick's blood tests. Then stopped at Costco to pick up a few things. Once we did that, we headed home. First we needed to stop at Safeway to pick a few things up for mom as she is under the weather. She's been couching so much that her chest hurts. She finally went back into the doctors and they did a chest x-ray and gave her medication. We dropped her stuff off and then headed to Phil's to drop off a few things as well. 

Came home and sat out on the deck. I listened to my audio book. I was disappointed to find out the guy who was doing the narration had passed away and a new guy took his place. I loved the first guys voice in this series. 

I was able to finish this sleeve - not without problems. I found when I put that last row on last night, I had a few threads looped around the beads. So, I ended up taking out that next row 3x's before I could get moving again. 

Now it's done. Sorry about the photo - but it's dark in the house. I put it on the floor. 

My carpet is dark and lighting is awful but you get the idea. I will get a better photo tomorrow before I put it away for a little bit. I don't think I want to hang it just yet, but who knows what Patrick will do. He's been keeping an eye on this one. I don't think he will give this one away. 

Even with most of the afternoon gone, I was still able to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!

It's very pretty.
I've never done beading. Do you frame something like this?

Just found you comment. Thank you! I love beading. I have not framed any of my work. I put a sleeve on the back of this one, and it will hang on the wall. My daughter thought I should frame it. I believe she is going to frame the polar bear I did. It will be interesting to see how she frames it. I have more to do, so who knows, I may frame them in the future. lol

Trying To Get My Embroidery Ready For Class

This morning, Patrick went to meet up with his city friends. All the retired "bosses" get together about every 3 months and BS.  I...
