K@t 38 Posted August 23, 2006 This is my latest cross stitch project that I finished. It's a Geisha girl for my husbands brother and his new wife. It's their wedding present. I'm a bit pissed with the framers though, there is a small green smudge on the material on the right side, and a small chip in the frame on the bottom. I almost took it back but I'm afraid they might mess it up more trying to take it out of this frame and reframe it. Ohh well it still looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K@t 38 Posted August 24, 2006 Actually it was a quiet small design. It took me about a month of working on it 10 - 15 min here and there. The back stitching took the most time, but over all it turned out nice.:biggrin1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paula 4 Posted August 24, 2006 Heather, that is BEAUTIFUL! It looks SO professional. Really, Im impressed. You know, I truly admire you for all these beautiful projects that you can do. And I admire (not envy) all those that have such special gifts and talents. I have a friend that sews very well AND has a catering business along with a cake decorating business on the side. She does beautiful work. She can sew. She can cook extremely well. She can decorate cakes (her wedding cakes are the best). And then I look at Mike. He can sing well, play guitar, has the ability to make anything out of wood, and he can draw VERY well. He can cook a leather shoe and it taste like Thanksgiving dinner. ..and here I am the lowly peasent girl - looking and admiring YOUR work and so many others, wondering if I was 'day dreaming' when my number was called for the "gifts and talents" section in life. :confused: I still have to call my mother and ask directions for boiling an egg.:nervous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teresita 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Oh Wow that is beautiful. You are talented. If you don't want the framers to mess with it anymore, you should at least make them aware of what happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K@t 38 Posted August 24, 2006 Paula, you have a very valuable talent which is to be one of the sweetest most caring person I have met here on LBT. You always have something nice to say to everyone! And I'm sure that one of these days you will find some other type of hidden talent you never knew you had! (um like putting up with kids and all their friends they drag over..ahem!)

K@t 38 Posted August 24, 2006 Oh Wow that is beautiful. You are talented. If you don't want the framers to mess with it anymore, you should at least make them aware of what happened. yeah i did, i took it to them and they are giving me a discount on the next framing job i have done. I have had several things framed by them and they always do a nice job, i think this time was just an accident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nursekathy2u 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Does it make me stupid that it took me forever to figure out what the title of this thread meant?? I could NOT figure out what a "Finish Geisha Girl" was.. I knew Geisha girls werent typically associated with Finland..... Duh..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
