If you read my last post, you read that my brother passed away & I was finishing one of his unfinished pieces.
I finished the little mouse last night. It turned out cute & this is one of those pieces that needed the backstitching to make it happen! It was just a blob without it!
I learned something about Wayne as I worked on this piece. He & I stitched differently! He did his X's one way, and I a different way. I don't know if there truly is a right way & a wrong way to stitch, just different! My mom wants this piece, so I told her this. She said it will be fine......it will show that both of us worked on it, our way!
My nephew has also found all of Wayne's "Kinkaide/Disney" kits. He had purchased a bunch of them, but the only one started was the Pinocchio. My dad has asked to keep the Snow White & Lion King & I get the rest of them. ( Too funny, but I already own the 2 he asked to keep!!!)
Today, I will start on a fun fall freebie I found.
Last Sat, we, along with my parents & my sister & her family went to a state park that we all love. Oh my!!!!! The colors are really just starting, but it was gorgeous!! The weather was perfect for a day in the outdoors. I will attach a couple of my favorite pictures....... One is the wooly bears the kids made at the nature center!

Very sweet stitching and such pretty photos.

Oh, the little mouse turned out so cute, Shari--I know your mom will treasure it as both of you stitched it. I've been thinking of you and hope you and your family are doing as well as possible after your brother's death. I can't even imagine... That was so nice that you could all be together last Saturday at the state park. It really does look like a lovely day.
Sending a warm hug your way!
I think they are called teasels.
Beautiful tribute to your brother Shari. I too have experienced finishing pieces left behind by a lost loved one and the humbleness of honoring another stitcher. Please know that I share the warmth and honor you'll carry with you ~ we're stitchers, caring and sharing is what we do for one another. Wishing you a fabulous Fall filled with frolicking:)
Nice tribute to your brother..a very special momento. The plant you asked about is teasle.
The little mouse is adorable, such a lovely memory piece for mum to have.
Cute little mouse, Shari.
Beautiful pictures at the park!

Thank you Shari for finishing the little mouse. It will be treasured forever. Mom
