It's Done!!! It's Done!!!

Greetings and Salutations!

The Parrot is done!  The Parrot is done!  I finished her up last week and framed her tonight after work.  I'm a bit sad that I'm finished with her but thrilled with how she came out.  My picture does NOT do her justice.  Amy's computer isn't here at home and as you know I  have no way to get pictures uploaded here so  I had to take the picture at work under the florescent lights which always leaves a green cast to things but I couldn't wait to show her off.


I'm making this short and sweet tonight since it's 9:00p.m. and I still have cooking to take care of.  It's Last Saturday Stitch at the shop tomorrow and I need to make sure I bring a dish this week.  Two weeks ago I made my warm chicken dip and although I rubberbanded the lid onto the crock pot, it ended up tipping over in the car and spilling...everywhere.   Lost the whole batch and made a huge mess, I will not be using the crock pot this time.  Or maybe ever.

Have a great weekend Everyone!!

Take care till next time!

Julie

    The Parrot is amazing. Lovely work. I save cardboard flat boxes to set foods in when driving. That way if there is a spill it remains contained. Happy stitching today!

    Your parrot finish is gorgeous, Julie! I love the frame you put her in, as well. Stunning!
    I had the same thing happen with a crock pot full of chili! All over the car - what an awful mess. I haven't used the crock pot since then.
    Have a great weekend!
