Seaside Sweethearts . . .

This is a bigger picture of what it looks like. I have made some significant progress, however!

I have been working on this piece for what seems
like forever!
Could it be that
LONG?
I think it could!
I have done my posting on ~
I've Started and I'll Finish . . . Eventually . . .
for months now.

The end is near as I will finish it this weekend!
I have the frame, mats and all I have to do is wash it.

The iron had an unfortunate accident when I was
giving it a press for it's picture
and spit up on it!

I just hope the washing will take it out!

I use a product called Zout and it seem to do a good job!

Here's Hoping!

Say a prayer, it helps!

Thanks for looking!

Seaside Sweethearts . . .


This is what I have been working on for the last two weeks.
This is one I did for my x-boyfriend some years ago.
We broke up shortly after I did it for him
so I asked him if he didn't want it to please give it back to me.
He usually throws things away at the dump.
He loads his little dump trailer up
and goes to the dump.
I could just picture my beautiful stitchery going there!
His reply was NO!
So . . .
I decided I would just stitch me one.
After all, I love the sea very much!!!
When we went to Galveston, and were in love,
we walked along the beach together just like this picture.
Happy memories!
I started it and worked on it for a long time.
Then I got interested in something else and it became a UFO! Fast!
I joined the blog ~ "Started This and I Will Finish It
Eventually!"
So I got it back out and here it is.
The man was not finished, nor was the lady.
He was done to his hips and she was done to her waist.
I got his pants done and then his legs and feet.
I put a little bit of sand underneath
him so he was not floating anymore.
I did her skirt about halfway one night
and finished her skirt the next.
She was footless for about 2 days
but he held her up nicely!
I got her legs and feet done and they were both
standing. I gave her a little sand, too!
I did the ocean on her side and part of the beach.
I gave him some sand and
now they walk along the beach every day and night.
They must be "in love".
As you can see I have a lot more to do.
The ocean grasses will take a least two days!

Thanks for looking!
