Va-rooom, va-rooooom!

The '68 Charger takes the lead!

The original picture



I am so very happy to say that this piece is finally done!!! I put the final stitches in it this evening. Here are some pics:

Completed product - "Auto Focus" setting
"Pinhole" Setting - this is showing the colors closer to what they really are.
"Pop Art"  setting - just wanted to give you a vivid look!
Notice the front end of the car. I personalized the license plate with my Uncle's name.

Now, it's got to be sent to my mother so she can get it framed and deliver it to her brother on time for his birthday. I really hope he likes it!

Now, I think I will either work on the Christmas Design SAL a bit, or prepare the fabric and begin the Ink Circles Cirque des Carreaux. Hmmmmm.......

Thanks for the email. That is so cool, my youngest would love it. Is that the Dukes of Hazzard car too, my boys love the dvd's of the old series. Maybe '69, it sure would pass for it. I cross stitch too. I'll have to share some of them on my blog one of these days.

Farewell Daddy 3.8.1949 ~ 9.5.2012

Thank you for being my daddy for the last 40 plus years. You were my rock when I needed one. You were my best friend. You are now in our loving Lord’s arms and healed of your pain. Reuniting with long departed loved ones. And Mrs. Beasley too. I will miss the way you play your guitar and sing the songs you enjoy. I will miss our drives together finding new places to see and explore. I will miss you, daddy, the rest of my physical life. I look forward to the day we see each other again. Look for me running to you; into your arms. Michael Shawn Hayes March 8, 1949 to September 5, 2012 63 years young

Well, it’s almost here! I am almost 40!! Why do I sound so happy about it you might be wondering. Most people get to this age and act as though their world is coming to an end.
