First non-pillow finish-Cherish

Today I completed my first non-pillow finish. It is far from perfect, but I am proud and pleased with it. 

This has been sitting awaiting finishing for over a year now.  *hangs head in shame* 

I was so nervous that I would ruin the stitched piece, but I didn't. Is it perfect no. But then neither was the stitched piece and that was okay and is still okay. 

I for the most part followed these instructions

update

I had a baby boy on February 15, he sure does keep me busy!


This is a small Lizzy Kate I have been working at on and off. It is a nice change from big projects.


Where I am currently on Mistress



This is canvaswork. I enjoy the change from cross-stitch.



I have been lately working on this Robin on and off. I love the springy colors.





I have worked not at all on Japanese Garden, but I do plan to get it out this week.
