Well, here’s a fun little finish to share! I started this for my mom’s birthday present early in the year and worked on it on and off until now. I’m actually really happy with how it turned out – I’ve found Jiffy kits (as this one is) are sort of touch and go on the quality scale and remarkably, I didn’t even need to ask for more thread for this kit. I think that is a first, actually. Anyway, the kit is from Jiffy, as I mentioned, and is called “Life is Short” for the little saying on the inside, I would guess.

The design is stitched on 14 count white Aida (though it looks more beigey here, and I like it this colour!), using whole stitches, backstitch, french knots, and a running stitch to do the border.

Hopefully the image works – I’m trying to use Gallery to insert the picture automatically and it refuses to align properly; there’s nothing I hate more than an improperly floated image to mess things up!

Edit: Well, THAT didn’t work. I suppose I’ll just have to insert things normally and by hand.
