Two Finishes

 Yesterday was a two finish day. One is a present, so I can't show it yet. 

But 9 years ago I was ordering a DMC color card directly from DMC and threw this kit into my cart. 

I discarded the thread and matched the colors to a rug we own. 

Stitching on wood is interesting. Not exactly pleasant. Hard to run under on the back. But anyway. It's finished. I just need to find a silk flower for my new vase. 

Took an Unintentional Break

 

Here are all the sides to my Presidents' Challenge.

Front, back, spine where I added the date. Interior. 

This little thing took over well over 100 hours.
