Updates... a Finish... Stash...WIP ... UFO's.... Alot of Pics

I am probably going to have to do 2 posts... but want to get some GOOD NEWS and some Upbeat Posting in for a change... I want to start by showing you the Christmas Gift that My Dear Hubby Gave me for Christmas.. .I have wanted one of these caskets for a LONG LONG time... Now I have to choose the Chart to go inside this beauty.

My DH had a small plate made for the front that Says...

"MERRY CHRISTMAS PEANUT 2010"

Peanut is my nickname that he gave me back when we were first dating... it has stuck with me for 20 years now! He thinks of everything! I think he is a keeper.

Look at how the inside is made... This is SOOOOOOOOO NICE. What a treasure to pass down thru my family.

This Box was made by Barbara and Her Husband who own Keepsakes Cross Stitch in Cincinnati, OH

What an AWESOME job they did... Thank you Sweetie... and Thank you to Barbara for helping him with this Heirloom!
