Another Finish

This isn't a stitching finish, but a finishing finish, which is a big deal for me! I never finish anything! I decided to make "Don't Get Your Tinsel in a Tangle" into a pinkeep. Only I can't find my pins. So it's a pinkeep minus the pins!

I used the finishing technique I learned from Jane Timmers. I just hate finishing. I find no enjoyment in it what so ever, which is why I barely ever finish anything! Oh well, it's done and I'm glad. I think Vonna would be proud! LOL! :) Write later!

  2. Looks great to me. If you don't find your pins and you have some long straight pins and various sizes of beads you can make your own pins. I've done that before and it works wonderfully.

  5. How cute! Your blog is beautiful and your photos always look perfect. I dread finishing also, but it is my goal this year to "get over it". I could stitch forever and never finish a thing(!).

  9. Yippee skippee! Good job on the finishing! I hate to finish finish stuff too! No fun. Let me stitch. Keep the glue and the sewing machine away from me.
