Ok, just need to get something off my chest first. Bear with me. A friend of mine had been trying to reach me for a couple of days but didn't leave a message on my phone. When I did get back to her, she only had a question about a restaurant here in town. "Do you know if they are open and what their hours are?" I had no idea since we haven't been there for ages so I suggested she call them or look on the web. So logically I asked her why she needed to know and she said that she and her "girlfriends" go out to lunch once in awhile and were thinking of trying that place. ????? What's that all about? Plan a lunch with your friends and then ask your other "friend" about the restaurant they want to go to??? Nothing like feeling like THE HELP. You know, I almost called her back (I was so mad) to express my feelings but I just don't feel like it's worth it. This is not the first time this has happened and it probably won't be the last. I don't think she'll get it anyway. Enough said. Not that it makes me feel any better...
Here's what is making me feel better these days.
Bitter Flower, Birds of a Feather
Look at this! Finally had some framing done! This was the big test, to try out Michael's. Overall I am happy. I like the frame and the work seems to be good. With 60% off, the price on this came to about $72.00. When I picked up my pieces, I realized they had left out the spacers (due to a miscommunication when I placed the order) but the clerk took them apart and put them in while I did my other errands.Frame detail
I am not quite as happy with my other piece but I take most of the blame for this. I really didn't know what kind of frame I wanted and ended up with this. I don't think it was the best choice. Maybe someday I will reframe it and use this frame for something else. I think there needs to be more linen showing around the edges and it's also a little crooked. This one cost about $67.

Michael's doesn't have a huge selection of frames but I will probably use them again. I will just take more care next time to choose the right frame and be sure of the size. I still plan on doing some of my own framing soon and I really should check out some of the small framing shops in our town.
I've been stitching away but no photos today. Got a list a mile long and blogging was not on the list!
