Back on June 23, we attended the wedding of the daughter of long-time friends and our church's music administrator (who is the worship leader for the band I sing with). It was such a beautiful wedding! The bride made sure her dress was modest with the addition of a short jacket, and the entire service was centered on Jesus Christ. There were even two trumpeters, which took Phil and I back to our own wedding 28 years ago.
Do any of you remember the mystery project I was working on at the beginning of the year? It was Nathan and Diana's wedding gift. I am hoping that by now they have opened their gifts and will not have the surprise spoiled by seeing this post on Facebook.
I decided to stitch My Beloved by Country Cottage Needleworks, but I personalized it by using their favorite color - red - for the lettering. I also changed some of the other colors by choosing different shades of those that were charted so that they coordinated with the red.
I also brought out the red in the frame, which wasn't easy to find. (A huge thank you to the framing employee at Michaels!)
I also stitched a Christmas ornament. This was the third time (I think) that I've stitched this.

Hi Ginny!
the framed piece is gorgeous and perfect for a newly married couple and I also love the "our first Christmas" ornament. Perfectly lovely!
Absolutely perfect wedding gifts! I've always loved the Song of Solomon.

Hi Ginny!
I love both of these but maybe especially the ornament. What a great job you did on the finish!
The optical migraines are called migraine but not a headache at all. There is no pain, just vision impaired until it passes. It passes between 5 to 50 minutes after they start. But guess what? I have not have a single one since I started on the aspirin to thin the blood in my brain...yeah!
