It's a Finish!

I didn't realize that I was on a roll as to getting some stitching framed and finished! I have a name tree from http://www.nouveauencore.com I need to frame this one, still thinking about how I want it done, or if I want to add beads or charms to it yet. Then I got the UFO done from EMS Cross Stitch it was a freebie. Still need to frame this one as it is a gift to a dear friend who I will be seeing the end of October.

I made this for a friends 50th Wedding Anniversary from: http://linenflowers.com I have framed my Dolly Mama's for Andrea!

My Texas Vacation

My vacation started August 14 when I left Chicago and flew to Frisco, Texas, It was a trip that I needed and didn't think I needed. I did many different things, Sandy and Ken had a party for my birthday! Red Velvet Cupcakes! We went out on Matt's boat very refreshing, for that day it was very hot and the water blowing in your face felt good.

We went to the Mesquite Rodeo, I love the rodeo, me in a cowboy hat!

This was one of the many Bull riders that we saw, they are all so young! I did manage to find a cowboy for Andrea! Bronco Rider Bull Rider Fort Worth Stockyards, One of my favorite places to visit when I go to Texas! The Cattle Drive, twice a day, they have a cattle drive down the streets of Fort Worth. John Wayne and me? The Stockyard Inn....Home of Buffalo Butt Beer Yes, a long time ago the tail on the buffalo was the tapper! I didn't like the beer. I love Shinners. Texas Sculpture Garden-Frisco Beautiful place Japanese Gardens, a very peaceful place, I could have spent the whole day there. Zen Garden, Some how I would have managed to leave footprints!

Koi fish they knew you where there with food! Waterfall Mary K. Umstead Teahouse Blue Heron waiting for his dinner. Mikoshi Moon Bridge Randy White's for BBQ I had a wonderful 2 weeks! Spent time in the pool, when it was too hot to go anywhere, I did manage some cross stitching, and to relaxed!
