Latest Finish Geisha Girl

[K@t 38]

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.

Beautiful work! I also cross stitch and know how much time and patience something like that takes. It's just wonderful and what a great present.

thanks guys, a professional framing job makes all the difference it looks so professional when its all done. I already started on my next one which is a wedding piece I bought for me and my husband when we got married 2 years ago!!

Wow, beautiful. It must have taken forever.

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:

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

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.

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!)

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.

nice bit of needle work there K@t! I may have to get some of my work framed now...

[K@t 38]

I've seen a piece or 2 of your work and its great! You should frame it, it makes your stuff look so much more professional and great!

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.....
