I've finished everything except the words. The design says "Thankful for Ewe" but I haven't quite decided if I want to stitch that phrase or something else depending on what I put in the finished tin to give to my sister. Hm. I haven't decided yet on what exactly to make the tin for. I need to give that some more thought. In the meantime, here's the design stitched up without any words:
I've really enjoyed stitching this 1/1. It's been very tedious but the effect is fantastic! It's so precious. I can't wait to give my first tin finishing a try.
Lately it feels like the weekends have been busier and crazier than the weekdays! Last weekend we had a memorial for my FIL, the Easter vigil, and then Easter. This weekend we had a mass and funeral for my FIL yesterday and then DH's cousin had her first Holy Communion today. I need a weekend just to recover from my weekends! Next weekend Cuddle Bug and I are going to visit my twin sister in Illinois. It's "siblings weekend" on campus where my sister is in graduate school. DH will be sleeping in next weekend. I won't be so lucky. But he was kind enough to let me sleep in late this morning and he even made me breakfast. They don't come better than my hubby :)

This is looking fab and is exactly how I will be stitching this design when I eventually get it done. Enjoy doing your tin finish. I have only done one tin and thoroughly enjoyed it.
So adorable! Wonderful stitching :) I finished my tin yesterday...and I'm not very good with glue, messy!
Can't wait to see your tin, I'm sure it'll be fab!
Your stitching looks great! Thanks for all your comments on my blog. :)

The little tin cover is very cute!.
Also the fun part is eating the Altoids. Cinnamon is my favoite. Do you think they have any Idea what we do with their tins..lol..?
Enjoy finishing it!
Thanks for your concern, it's hard having a military family. My nephew who's gonna be stationed in NY is very lucky. I pretty much raised him these last 5 years, so I call him my own. Your one over one looks awesome! Great job stitching. I love stitching over one but it is hard on the eyes!
Take care,
Donna
Looks wonderful Kim! I can't wait to see it finished!
Beautiful job on your over one stitch.
This is looking beautiful Kim.
Oh your little tin is going to be adorable! I love the little sheep!
