Frame jobs.........


I have a couple of these seed bags to frame in shadow box frames.  The woman's mother was a descendant of the Bergstrom's who owned the company.


Two crochet pieces that are completed except for the hangers on the back.  Christmas presents for a woman's kids who live out of state.


A framed print that was done by my wife.  We sold the print at the art show and the woman wanted us to frame it for her daughter's Christmas present.  It reminded her of a horse that they lost a few years ago.

As we get closer to Christmas we find ourselves busy with all the last dealings with the charity frame jobs that I completed.  Della had some commissions that need to be picked up. We have to pick up supplies for our last frame jobs, the seed corn sacks, and then we will be close to the end.  I am mailing two boxes today and we have one more to ship tomorrow.  They should all get there by Christmas. Well the Maine box is debatable about it's arrival on time but when it hits the state the sled dogs have to finish the journey.  I am just kidding about that, but the one year when we used LL Bean, a company in it's own state, the packages were late.

I am subbing as a shop teacher today as well as a tech person.  It is best to go with the flow and not to expect anything but a day of variety.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I was hoping you would share photos of the jobs you were working on. Each gift is lovely! Many years ago, I cross stitched many Christmas gifts and had them matted/framed for gifts.
The horse your wife painted is beautiful.
Blessings to you both this week.
