As fetching as it is (*cough, cough*), I decided to forgo it. Lesson here? Opt against a painting where it appears the girl has no behind and her fingers are mere nubs. "Leo" apparently has a thing for toddlers with long legs, lol.Next Lessons:
and put my newest finish in it.

Very nice job. I just love the sparkly fabby! I'm with you there on the art work...
What a fab finish Meari! Love it, the frame id beautiful, perfect to show off your stitching. Congrats :-)
Awesome job on ABC! Congrats on the finish. Was that storm not just one of the worst? Thank God we were in the movie theater during the worst of it & never knew.

Your latest finish is gorgeous - and it looks awesome in that frame :)
It looks amazing Meari and the frame is great! Congrats on the finish. I think I'd better get on with mine - only two rows done so far!
Great job. I love this one. I think Lynette is going to loan me her's when she is done.

Congrats on finishing your "ABC Lessons", it looks great!!!
Annette
Well done, Meari! It looks great!
The ABC Lessons is awesome. How lucky you were able to find a frame and finish it yourself. Have a great time on the retreat!
Linda
Stunning job on ABC! I want to stitch this one someday. Your frameing is perfect. Isn't it a wonder what a small can of paint can do? Anxious to see your next adventure.
P.S. I love your photography
ABC Lessons came out awesome. Great job on the framing!
Hugs!
Mary
P.S. those storm clouds looked mighty scary!
Wow oh wowwie! Congrats on finishing ABC's. It looks wonderful! And I would have never guessed that was the same frame. You did a wonderful job!
Congrats on finishing ABC Lessons.
Good job on finding and re-purposing that frame!
Love, love, love it!!!! :)
So glad you got it finished!
*happy dance for you*
But of course now I want to know... what's next?
Wonderful finish ! The frame looks great !
Looking great, both the stitching and the frame!
A perfect frame for a perfect finish!
Your abc stitching is lovely Meari - and your frame is the finishing touch! Congratulations .
Your piece turned out very pretty, great job!
Debbie
What a beautiful job you did on both the stitching and framing, Meari. So glad you gave the little old frame a new life :)
It looks great have to say! Congrats for it! If I only had time, would do so much more stitching, including this piece!
Niina
What a great finish! This one is definitely one that I need to do. If only my kids (teens) would learn all of these.... (one child in particular)
Great finish!! I didn't notice that the fabric you used has sparkles. Love it!!
Perfect! I like how you didn't use a mat either. I tend to prefer mats but there are some designs that just don't need it. This is a perfect example of a design that doesn't need one.
BTW, I like the button organizers, especially the test tubes. Very unique!!
PennyB
ABC looks fantastic!
First, congrats on the wonderful finish!!
Second, I love the what you did with the frame!!
Your ABC's is just beautiful! I admire your framing it looks fabulous, wish I was as creative as you. Are you keeping this one?

Meari,
The picture is different. I like your description of it.
Abc Lessons is beautiful. The frame fits this perfectly. Congrats on your finish.
Great job, Meari.
Take care ... Sandy
I love this piece by Lizzie Kate, I have seen so many work on this one and I think it is an amazing design to stitch!
Kay
Wow! What a neat piece, it is fabulous.
Congrats, it is very beautiful!!!
Great finish! The frame is perfect!
ABC looks great! Loved the job on the frame work. Well done!
Meari
its looks fantastic well done, must go and work on mine lol
love sally
Yay, Meari! Congrats on your ABC piece. Wonderful!

Love what you did with the frame! I really need to get my butt in gear and get some of mine framed/finished.
I haven't decided if I need a mat with my piece like this that was gifted to me. I like your look and I wonder how you get premade frames that go so well. Most pictures don't look right because both sides aren't the same distance from the stitching!!!!
Looks fantastic Meari!
Great finish, Meari! I love the frame finish, as well! And I have to agree....if that's art (the print by leo) then I've got a fabulous bunch of art to draw! LOL And I definitely do NOT draw well!
Robin
Congrats on your finish - it's really cool! And I love the fact that you did your own frame!!
And I love your buttons! Great containers for them as well. Now do you use them or just collect them?
PattyS
I'd be doing a happy dance too Meari :) Nice finish!
Marcy
Great finish and great find :) Love it :)
Love it Meari!
As usual your work is gorgeous.
