Just thought I'd side track a bit and show you some pictures I took of one of my first tries at needlework as a young girl. I must have been around 12 years of age when I stitched it, so we're going back about 30 years ago that this little piece was created.
I remember that the whole design came as a kit, but I'm sorry to say that I have no idea who the designer was nor what brand name it came under. It was stitched on a natural linen with probably Anchor threads.
It was framed quite a number of years ago with a simple, dark wooden, recessed frame. I think it was a cheap one bought at a craft shop which came with glass. Mum and Dad would have mounted and framed it for me, since I was still only young.
I have it hanging in my computer/craft room and as the years go by I cherish it more and more.
