FINALLY finished! (picture)

[popcornbird]

I've been working on a cross-stitch project for my mom for quite awhile now. I kept getting lazy and leaving it untouched for months, so it took forever to complete. Tonight, I FINALLY finished it. FINALLY! I am so proud of myself. :D He he he.

I need to iron and frame it before giving it to my mom. She knows I was working on it, but hasn't seen it yet, so she has no idea what it looks like. What do you all think? Do you think she'll like it?

It's beautiful, Poppy! I have no doubt that your Mom will love it! :D

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Great job Pops!! I do cross stitch too, so I can appreciate the HOURS that went into it!

That's a really lovely design - I'm sure your Mum will be thrilled.

I'm just starting a baby "birthdate" design for my soon-to-be-born niece, Amy Paris!

Someone on PT (I THINK Catnapper) has software to convert photos to cross-stitch patterns - maybe you could do the birdies next!:D

[Rachel]

Done to perfection and such a nice thought to accompany the beauty of the scene. Your mom will treasure it.

[Lillycat]

[swimma253]

oh wow!!! Thats just gorgeous!! Lovely! :D

My mother does cross-stitch and she once entered her 5 cross stitch things in the state fair and 2 won first prizes.... and the other 3 got honorable mention!

You should enter that in a contest/fair type thing! Ill bet it would win! That is just gorgeous! :D

[KYS]

Very nice. :)

That is beautiful PCB! I know your mom will treasure that always. My daughter and I have done many cross stitch projects and we both know how LONG it takes! My daughter made me one herself of a verse she found. She then plotted it out on graph paper and cross stitched it and I just love it. I will share the poem here with you in case you might like to do one for your mom. :)

Thank you for being there through all my childhood years,
For your easing of my hurts, Your comfort in my tears,
Thank you for believing in all that I could be,
And most of all I thank you just for loving me.

If you start now you can have it finished for next Mother's Day! LOL! ;)

Oh my PCP, that is a beautiful picture and I know how many loving hours went into it!! So pretty. You are a very sweet daughter to make this for your mom and I know she will be so touched and happy to receive this:D I bet she cries!!! I would!

[lynnestankard]

That's beautiful PCB - I recognise the amount of work that went into that gorgeous cross-stitch - your Mum is going to be thrilled.
As Debbie said - I bet she cries - I'd be 'dead chuffed' to get anything that personal. You're such a lovely girl.

Beautifully done! I love it. I'm so positive that your mums will adore it!

[jenfer]

Great job! :) There was a time when I was addicted in doing cross stitch. It was quite fun, but I haven't done that in a VERY LONG TIME. lol.

[slleipnir]

That's really great :) Looks like you put a lot of work into this :) I bet your mom will love it

[Harmanie]

I'd have to admit, I have never done cross stitch. I would love to do it some day though!!!

[trayi52]

Poppy, I know your mom is going to love it! Not only because it is beautiful, but because you made it especially for her!

I know that took a long time to make, there are a lot of stiches in that picture! I used to do a lot of cross stiching, still have a lot of it framed in my house, it took a long time, but was lots of fun!

Yeap, your mom will love it!

Willie:)

[RobiLee]

Your mom is going to love it!

Excellent job. It is very pretty. If I had a daughter who made something like that for me I would treasure it forever.

Robin :)

[micki76]

PCB, you did a wonderful job on it! Your mom is going to treasure that always.

I love to cross stitch, too. I have the same bad habit of doing a lot, and then I sort of get burned out. I'll stop for months then I'll get the urge, pick it up, and finish it off. :)

[guster girl]

That's awesome! I did the same thing for my mother a few years back and she cried when I gave it to her. It was the same thing with her, she knew I was working on it. Funny thing, though, it took me like five years. ha ha, I'd work on it every few months and sometimes for a couple days straight. it was hard! But, I got it cleaned, matted and framed and gave it to her as a mother's day/birthday present. She didn't know I'd finished it, and, was cried like a baby when I gave it to her. Your mom will LOVE that! Maybe I'll see if I have a photo of the one I did and I'll see if I can scan it and post it. It's a great gift idea.

[dappledoxie]

That's great! Good job!

[DogLover9501]

It looks great :D

[popcornbird]

Thanks everyone. :D I showed it to my mom and she LOVED it! Still have to get a frame though...

That's a beautiful poem Pam! Now that I've finished, I want to start another project. I might just make one with that poem someday, though my dad said the next one has to be for him! :o

[GoldenRetrLuver]

That's BEAUTIFUL, PCB!!! WOW!!!! :eek:

It's no wonder she loved it. Great job! :D I wish I had half your talent. I love the colors!

[Corinna]

Very nice are you going to put it in a oval frame ? I think that would be nice.

[Dogz]

Wow, that's amazing! Great job, PCB. :) I am sure your mom will love it.
