The left pile is my train ORTs and the right my home ORTs. The brassware was once my dear mother's. I can remember many a time polishing those small trays and making up stories about the scene depicted on them. The stitchery in the background is "My cat Coco lives here". That is not its original name. It is actually High Hopes by Just Nan. But the tortoiseshell cat looked just like our cat at the time - Coco - that I changed the wording and renamed it. I finished it 2004. There is a companion piece - which is a winter garden languishing somewhere in my UFO pile. I must dig it up someday soon.
All of my 2014 ORTs so far.
Last night was Tudor Tuesday SAL night. I stitched on Plum Street Samplers "The end crowneth the work". I started out quite well
but then I realised right at the end of the night that I had made a mistake and I am going to have to frog that black cross hatching on the top right of the dress. Drat that frog prince!
Well, that will have to be next Tuesday's task!
hugs,

Great ORTs!

Your Nan piece makes a lovely backdrop for your TUSAL. It's nice to showcase an old finish as well as the same old tub of ORTS!
Shame about the frogs because the dress looks great.
Lovely ORT's :)
I hope the frog finds a new home soon, but please don't send him my way!!! :)
