Framing!!

I went to A.C. Moore and Michael's today to get some framing supplies. I found some unfinished frames at A.C. Moore and went to Michael's for foam core because Michael's will cut it for you. So here is what I framed, and I warn you they're no where near perfect, but they're good enough for now! :)

Miss Lila's Frame was unfinished and I painted it a dark brown.

This frame was unfinished and I painted with a black paint called "Wrought Iron"

Since I finished CaHRH yesterday I decided to start something new. Thank you all for your very kind comments on my finish!! They mean so much to me!

It's Shakespeare's Peddler's "Sarah Woodham 1770." I have been wanting to start it for a long time now, but I made myself wait until I finished CaHRH. I'm using the recommended silks on 40 ct. Vintage Pearled Barley. I'm loving it so far!! I love the colors!

Well, that's all for now! Write soon! :)

    They all look wonderful Nicole. I think what I like about them the most is that they're simple frames that let the stitched piece shine! And YGG with framing them yourself!!!
