Saturday I made a run to the LNS to pick up the framed piece for my friend's daughter. It came out perfect! Nothing too fancy, so it won't overpower any decorating now or in the future. I think it is a bit smaller than the "Peep" piece I did for her sister, but they are very similar nonetheless.

While I was at the LNS I also picked up Just Nan's "Spring in the Square," and the charm for the center. I just love the pretty little swans! I think I might try doing the whole series - she's only released 2 so far, and I don't have the "Winter" one - on one piece of fabric, though. Miracle of miracles, the LNS owner was actually friendly!! Not sure why....but I won't complain. Maybe she'll make the connection between friendly service and more sales, and continue to be less bristly? I won't hold my breath.

Sunday I put OUAT away and decided to start the wedding sampler for our friends. They haven't even set a date yet, but when it comes to a stitched gift, it is NEVER to early for me to start (heck, OUAT has been on the frame for about 2 YEARS now...)! I'm using a Joan Elliott design from an issue of Cross Stitch Gold, very similar to her "Wedding Prayer" pattern, but a bit different. And I will be charting my own verse.

Your framed piece looks great :) I've had the same experience with shop owners. Some of them act like they don't really want to be in business, its very frustrating. Its always nice to find one who loves what they are doing, etc :)
Your little bear turned out so cute! And OUAT is looking so great, this is such a pretty pattern. :D Glad you had a productive weekend! :D
Very nice progress!!
