Happy Birthday to me

Yesterday was my 55th birthday. I celebrated by seeing Cirque du Soleil's Saltimbanco with my DS and his wife. It was their gift to me. It was awesome, spectacular, jaw-dropping, amazing, incredible and totally unbelievable. Do you think I enjoyed it!! Unfortunately they do not allow any photography so you will have to settle for my description. You can see a little snippet on Cirque's website. DH stayed home and babysat the grandsons.

I will try to photo some of my work if blogger co-operates tonight.

The left snowflake is from Wren Song Designs - a series of three called Silver Thaw. This is #2. #1 is in an earlier post and identified incorrectly. #3 is done but did not photograph well so will include it in a future post.

The second snowflake is a completion from an earlier post. This one gave me lots of headaches but I am very pleased with the end result.

The third photo is my returned Sweetheart Tree RR piece. I have finished it and am quite pleased with how it turned out. I had originally done the lettering in 778 but it was too light and changed it to 316. I think it shows much better. I need some suggestions from everyone. I would like to add something between the names - either stitched or otherwise - any ideas? I am going to finish it as a bell pull.

Last but not least, is my Dimensions Circle of Love. I am stitching the wreath and will change the saying in the middle. I do not want to say too much about the finished project. It is for a family member and is a surprise.
