Heart at Home

It took a while, but I have finally found the perfect frame for Swirly Sampler. I stitched it to celebrate the birth of a very dear friend's twin sons, late in October. Last week I went with her to Pixiphotos, which was located in KMart. We sat, facing a wall of frames for 45 minutes, waiting for the twins' turn, and there I spotted this frame. It was one designed to hold 3 photos, but I pulled out the glass, and it fitted perfectly. I am thrilled with my first effort mounting stitching!

We had a nice day yesterday, in spite of the ridiculous heat (it's supposed to be Autumn!) We went to visit friends for a 7 year old's 'not a party'. It was not a party, because there were no formal invitations, or organised party activities. But a houseful of 11 adults and 13 children sure feels like a party!
