Finished! I Finally Finished It!

Thank you quita! I showed it to my dad today and he liked to have a fit over it. He really loved it and can't wait to have it framed which is what I'm going to do tomorrow. I was going to do it today but spent too much time at my parents helping them out that it was too late so tomorrow it will be.

I am certain your dad loved that picture! I know it will be lovely on a wall for all to see. Dad's reaction had to bring a smile to your face too:) Hang in there. You might get artist of the year !! hugs, quita

It's cool. I find myself spending a lot of time with them when I can. They're pretty awesome.

Hey Sparks! Long time no see!! Where have you been hiding and why? I miss you darn it!! Anyway, I took it to the framers today and it's going to cost me $128. to have it framed and matted. The first price was $178. but I couldn't afford that so I had one of the matting taken out so it's just the one. It's still going to be really pretty when it's done. I hope to get it early next week.

Thank you Hatley!! I showed it to my dad yesterday and he liked to had a fit over it! lol I took it to the framers and it's going to cost $128. to have it framed the way I want it. It's going to be right pretty!! Hopefully I'll get it early next week, the sooner the better because we never know what may happen. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. As for today, he's feeling a little better so hopefully he's on the up and up. back to you!!

[b]Hi and thank you Jo!! I showed it to my dad today and he liked to have a fit over it. He really loved it and can't wait to have it framed which is what I'm going to do tomorrow. I was going to do it today but spent too much time at my parents helping them out that it was too late so tomorrow it will be. He's feeling better but not up to par just yet. His breathing isn't good at all and he still hasn't heard from the doctor yet about the tests they did on Friday but I think they're going to call tomorrow to see what's going on. Thanks for caring!! HUGS!![/b]

Good morning Cat, u are very welcome. I'm so glad your dad liked it . I felt sure he would, it's beautiful. i'm glad he's feeling better. sounds like it's the same way there as it is here, the doctors or their nurses are really bad about getting your results of tests back to u. I think that's VERY TACKY they act like they do. Everyone who has had tests are anxious to hear. Hope they all turn out good. Have a wonderful day on this special day for u. hugs, jo

I don't know how in the world I missed the photo yesterday, however I did see it today. It is beautiful. I bet your dad can't wait to have it framed and hanging on his wall. Have a great day!!

Smack a cow!! A monopoly board?? I cannot imagine doing that!! That's just too much detail for me! The one I did before this one was detailed and also an 18 count which I vowed to never ever do something that tedious ever again. That's why it took me about 8 years to finish it. It's beautiful but way too much work for my eyes. (yeah, I'm getting older.... shhhhh! LOL) I'll post it on here for you to see, if you'd like. Anyway, thank you cher!

Thank you Elic! I showed it to my dad today and he liked to have a fit over it. He really loved it and can't wait to have it framed which is what I'm going to do tomorrow. I was going to do it today but spent too much time at my parents helping them out that it was too late so tomorrow it will be. I've done a number of them too and most have gone to my mom. I've made one for my niece and her new husband and a couple for friends. I don't have pictures of them all either and wish I had taken some before I gave them away. Oh well, mistakes we make and learn from....

Hi jillhill! That quilt sounds beautiful! I bet your son in law was right proud of it! My husband spent two tours in Korea, a year each time so I know what you mean when it comes to that.

I agree, hand made gifts truly come from the heart because the person making the gift usually put a lot of thought into it, not to mention, time. I love doing crafts and am going to venture into making some beaded items too.

Hi GG! Yes, dad got out of the hospital on Saturday but they haven't heard anything from his doctor yet about the test results from Friday. I think they're going to call him tomorrow to see what's going on. Since he hasn't called yet, that sounds promising that there's nothing major going on but still, there's something so we wish he'd get on the ball and call my dad.
