It was our 33rd anniversary this weekend and we had a gift certificate given to us for Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. That place is so nice! (And expensive too). Here is what my chopped salad looked like. Delicious! I forgot to take a photo of my steak and lobster tail-it got gobbled down so quickly. :)They had sprinkled little Happy Anniversary decorations on the tabletop.
DD#1 finished another flatfold for me. She does beautiful work.
Here is the fabric on the back. Love it! Thanks, DD#1!
Crazy January Challenge Finish #11
Sewing Chest Designs
Porcelain Pincushion Doll
25 ct linen
Called for DMC threads
It looks a little wonky because it is stretched a little unevenly. I did move the thread colors around a little to make it a little brighter. I also changed the eyelet stitch on one of the borders to smyrna stitch. Now on to my "to-be finished" pile.
I am starting to feel the pressure of the pre-work for the Merry Cox classes coming up in November! So here is the needlecase for So Dear to thy Heart.
Here is the outlining for the pocket, 2 thimble holders, and needle page holder.
Sheepish Designs Sarah Salter is coming along. She is so fun to work on. The 32ct lambswool over 2 seems so large after working on the Merry Cox pieces. :)
Did anybody see the Goode Huswife Sarah Seifer on ebay? It went for $128.50! Does anyone have one I can borrow?
Don't forget to take a peek at my For Sale page. Lots of good stuff is still left!

Happy Anniversary to you and your DH! Ruth Chris is a fantastic place to celebrate. I just love your finishes. The flatfold your daughter finished for you is amazing...love the backing fabric.
I didn't see that chart price go but have seen some others that are just crazy. Come on, who in there right mind can aford that for a chart. Well, not me. I will look but I don't think I have that one.
