I will start off with the winner of the 2nd Blogoversary here at BlackSheep Site
- drum roll and a snap of The Peach a Pickin......
.... out the winner from the Bowl of Destiny..... (Now I know why you should never work with animals or children!!!! They just don't perform queue - ever!! ((is that a snack bite in there with those entries????) ) But, all that aside the winner that got pulled from all the entries was Jen over at My Stitch in Time - a newer Blogger here in our cyber universe - go check out her blog. Now - Jen just email me your snail mail address and I will get you super de duper prize in the mail. The email is edgar matt @ g mail . com (leave out spaces).
Thanks again for all of your kind regards and here's to another great year of my yapping and stitching!!!!!
On Friday the company Rico works for had the annual share holders meeting - super fancy and over catered as are most of those functions - well, all I can say it whoop de dam do - I love a party with catering - He brought home some leftover stuff -
and these....
We certainly made out and both of us were a couple a rooting hogs!!!
Just some delicious goodies!!!
I wanted to thank both Sherry and Jill for encouraging me to step up to the plate and try and frame something myself. I have been getting various frames from estate and garage sales and wanted to use them instead of having new frames made. It is so very expensive as we all know!!! Well on Saturday I ran down to Michael's and picked up some foam board and pins and just decided to try my hand at framing!!! Here is my first ever frame up -
I think it turned out really nice. So, for less than $10 I have a great old mahogany frame and the satisfaction of doing it myself!!!! There is going to be more framing in my future - In fact I have a list of glass I need to have cut for some other pieces!!!
I finished up the latest section of the ABC SAL - and here is a snap...
Only two more sections and this lovely will be all over -
I am still really enjoying stitching on this!!!
- and here is a new start - from La-d-Da - called "Peaceful Ways"
This will be a pretty quick stitch - I really like the colours and the sentiment.
Thanks again to you all for entering my 2nd Annual Blogoversary drawing
and for the continual encouragement!!!!
Stop by again!!!
take care,
edgar

Congrats to Jen! And your framing is great Edgar! I love the wide border. And posting pics of chocolate covered strawberries is surely considered some kind of inhumane torture!
ReplyDeleteLovely framing job.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like the colours in your ABC Sal.
Congratulations to Jen - she is a lucky lady! Boo Hoo to me! I love your framing...I am like you - some nice old frames but scared to try my hand at framing...your outcome just might make me try! Thanks for the drawing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Jen!
ReplyDeleteGreat frame job Edgar and love your new start of Peaceful Ways!
Chocolate covered strawberries - mmnn - they look delicious!
Congratulations to the lucky winner. Wow, you did a great job framing your sampler. Just think how much more stash you could buy with all the money you save on framing

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Jen! Wow, Edgar...lots of happenings! Yummy cookies and choco-covered berries. I love your framing job...you'll have to teach me. And some good progress on ABC and a new start. Just amazes me how much you get done in a weekend. I'm such a lazy bum!

ReplyDeleteCongrats to Jen !
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate covered strawberries look yummy !
Nice framing job, congrats :)
Edgar,
ReplyDeleteOut of ALL the BBD Petites Rouge freebie samplers I have seen on the web (and we all know they are LEGION), I LOVE yours the most! Your colors are divine and that little bird is exquisite - wherever did you find him??? (I really would like to know if you don't mind sharing). Your framing is excellent, as well. counttwice at gmail dot com
How cool to see you jumping into framing up your stitching with both feet! You did a great job. :)
ReplyDeleteYour framing is wonderful! And the piece look beautiful on the wall all framed! You really do beautiful work, I enjoy visiting your blog and looking at all your accomplishments and WIPs.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the blog-oversary again!
Take care!
great framing job!! I've be doing my own framing for years. The results vary from "very professional" to "absolute poopy". Much like my computer skills, it's a hit-or-miss sort of thing with me.
ReplyDeleteThe post-party goodies look marvelous. Nothing taste better then stuff that's FREE!
You did great on the framing!!! I love estate sale and thrift store frames; they are THE BEST!
ReplyDeleteI love following all of your stitching and your estate sale finds! Great inspiration for me.
