CROSS STITCH FINISHES

This piece was done for friends of ours who have
a lake house. It was a fun piece.

I love doing these Welcomes. There is a whole series
of them. I want to do more of these.

A cute Wedding Sampler made for a young couple
back home at Gardendale. We worshipped with her
for many years before she was married.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW HOME



Our new home as of mid-June. We are decorated a little bit for fall. My fall wreath that I had used for many years finally had to be trashed. I kept some things from it that were still in good condition. About a week ago, I felt like we needed a wreath. I pulled out my box from the closet with all the loose goodies and went to the garage and found a bare grapevine wreath. I went to work and after two burns and one ruined fingernail, I had a wreath.

A SHORT TOUR




Welcome to the foyer of our new home. I have finished painting a few rooms. The builder only allowed one interior color and it was just too blah. The foyer is chocolate brown about the color of chocolate milk.

This is a shot of our dining room taken from the great room.


This is where the foyer and dining room meet. You can also see the door to the hallway that leads to the bedrooms. The columns are very tall and needed something visual or architectural on them. I added the sconces and candles and really like how they turned out. With the candles lit, the room looks neat with the glow from the candles.

IT DID BECOME A HOUSE







Well, it has been a while, a long while. It really did become a house. Here it is today.
