This will be short and sweet, I promise – who wants to sit inside reading on a screen when the unofficial end of summer is but a few short hours away?
Anyway, my parents hit a milestone anniversary this year. Oh, sure, 40 isn’t the big 5-0, but still fairly significant, I think. Heck, I can’t imagine being 40, let alone being married for 40 years. Since they’re kind of impossible to buy for as a couple, I decided to take advantage of the milestone-iness and stitch them a commemorative sampler. Most of the Ruby Anniversary samplers you see out there are kind of floral-y or frou-frou, and I didn’t want that. But when I saw the Vintage Anniversary Sampler by Dimensions, I knew I had found my project! They got it a few okay, five weeks late, but aren’t some thing worth waiting for? (To protect the identity of the happy couple and their progeny, I’ve smudged out identifying details, but you get the idea. Or if you’d like to see a non-smudged version, here’s a link to the kit for sale.)
It just came back from being framed this week, and did they ever do a fantastic job. The mattes she picked out complement the colours so perfectly!
Have a wonderful holiday Monday, everyone!
