Ann Rayner

Here she is in her new framed glory. I always wonder if I've chosen the right frame, but fortunately I think this one suits her. The little bit of gold around the inside pulls out the gold in the sampler. It also tones down some of the brightness. I'm stitching away like crazy on Sarah Woodham, and I'm almost done. The frame for her is also waiting, and I'm very anxious to see how she'll look in the guest bathroom. I think I'll be able to show her before the end of the week.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes. I had a very nice day, that included a wonderful dinner and surprise get together in the evening. I couldn't have asked for more. I have to show you the birthday card that my niece made for me. I'm still laughing over it. Who knows who those women really are, but they could very easily have been my mom and her sisters, back in their day. Unfortunately, today I only feel the old part, especially after yesterday's vote.
