I stitched it each evening when we were sitting together in front of the TV and he never once noticed what it was!!
It wasn't his only pressie as we had practically emptied the men's clothing section in M&S when we went the other day!! Well he did need it as he has lost 3 1/2 stones in weight.
Its slightly on the squish in the frame but I did it very hurriedly when he was out, but I did it so I could so I could adjust it if necessary and it is !!
Very satisfying to see something I have stitched in a frame, most are just in boxes all over the place. I bought the frame when we were in Brixham, it was reduced in a trinket shop with a print of teddies in it. I am a great one for buying pictures where I can use the frame for my own work!!
looks lovely. well done.

Happy Birthday to DH - great gift - I love that design, a wish list one of mine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteI'm a great one for finding frames in charity shops and re-using them. It gets embarassing though when the little old ladies coo over the (usually appallingly cute and kitsch) pictures in them... I do try and restrain myself and don't tell them they are being ripped out!
Birthday greetings to your DH, and well done on the weight loss!
It is a fantastic design. Lovely framing too
ReplyDeleteLooking good . I can believe he didn't notice what you were stitching , my hubby is like that too lol. The kids know exactly what's being done thought , and the usual question is "Is that for me?"
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your DH. Lovely design well done. Have e-mailed you about the Travelling Stitcher SAL. Michelle x
ReplyDeleteLovely finish....Happy Birthday to your DH too
ReplyDeleteGreat gift for you DH!!! Isn't it amazing how oblivious they can be.
ReplyDeleteI stitched an entire huge airplane for my DH right in front of him and he never even notices.
Congrats on the great finish, it came out great and the frame you found is perfect. I am sure your husband loved it. CJ ok;-)

Belated Happy Birthday to your DH and that's a beautiful gift you finished.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog. What a lovely job you've done and the frame suits it beautifully. Had to laugh at your DH not noticing, I don't think mine could tell you what I've stitched. Well done on the weight loss so far for,
