    Default busy wife

    Janet has been busy in her workshop, its warmer.

    Tiger crossstitch 22" high x 8" wide, took around 3 months work (after house work)



    Will make a frame when my fingers warm up in the workshop.

    You mean to say you let her have a break from the housework?

    Terrific work Janet. Get to work on that frame John.

    Nice work Janet. Been awhile since John put something of yours up.

    Nice work Janet, but a word of warning to you. It's coming up to winter in UK and you might find if hubby's hands get much colder he'll use the wood he has earmarked for the frame for other purposes, like warmth. It's one of the rasons I moved down under.

    Now that's some nice work!

    And deserves a very special frame.

    Hmmm...

    Tiger Myrtle?

    Leopardwood?

    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Thanks Prozac.

    There is some of her work in Vic. NSW & Qld.

    She's not bad seeing she has arthritis in her hands.
