Wow. Do I ever feel like I've accomplished things this week. I feel ahead of the game regarding deadlines (knock on wood!). I did not love the 'Fields of Gold' that I made for a commission, so I started up another simple autumn scene. The colors are much more subtle, based on a photo I took on the way to Beaver Creek.

It was the end of summer and there were Prairie Coneflowers growing by the roadside. I stayed up all night adding the hand stitching to it. I loved every stitch.
It looks quite stunning in the frame I have at home. That was the problem with the other one. I didn't love the color scheme. This one was an after-thought and I really love it. It makes me happy.

I matted all my other work and dropped it all off to be framed. (!!!) We picked some really pretty frames! I can't wait to see them all once they are back. Before I headed out, I was sure to take high res photos of each one. SO... since you told me this is not boring, here they all are
once again. : )
