A few small finishes

Every now and then I have a few small projects all stitched up, and it takes me forever to finish them...

Sometimes with good reason... I didn't know the baby's name yet... ;o)

Rabbit on Wheels
Jean Farish

Sometimes because I can't figure out the right finish...

Be True
Little House Needleworks

I finally stuck my head deep enough in the cupboard to discover I had this frame all along!
(watch the sleeping feline definitely being true to herself...)

And sometimes stitching and finishing go hand in hand and all of a sudden...

Gingham Village
Twisted Threads

... a beautiful fob!

I know exactly what you mean about the finishings!!! All of yours are wonderful as always. That fob is darling, no wonder you whipped it out right away!

Well, you know how I feel about finishing! LOL You always seem to do a great job...I had no idea you have my "Fear of Finishing!" I love your newest stitchings.
