She's flattered that you called her pretty :) I need to fix up her missing blackwork bar, and then hopefully the right frame will come along for her and Mr. Dragon.<br /><br />As for the sewing machine - hah! I'm not holding my breath. But my blackwork bookmark will be finished! Hopefully with no fatalities along the way ;)Aurelia Eglantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998483816892542367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420053805409977271.post-71029988743306018642011-03-22T19:02:55.795-02:302011-03-22T19:02:55.795-02:30I really like these, and I especially love the Uni...I really like these, and I especially love the Unicorn - it's so pretty, especially with the colours you chose and the butterflies! And they definitely deserved to be framed after all this time! :)<br /><br />Good luck with the sewing machine by the way - I hope you manage to at least reach a truce long enough to get your bookmark finished, lol.Rainy Day Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237956256737657580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420053805409977271.post-55484552826046967192011-03-20T22:08:31.786-02:302011-03-20T22:08:31.786-02:30Also, I'm sorry I can't remember exactly w...Also, I'm sorry I can't remember exactly when The Runekeeper freebies were initially released. It was quite a while ago though. <br /><br />I should say 'former freebies', because like most of the Dragon Dreams freebies from the past, the patterns are now only available from retail. It's really a shame that a few people ruined it for the rest of us stitchers when they decided to sell her freebies as their own designs. <br /><br />It's nice to meet another fan :)Aurelia Eglantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998483816892542367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420053805409977271.post-69235793773426595612011-03-20T22:02:17.476-02:302011-03-20T22:02:17.476-02:30Thanks very much Karen!

I'm going to try to do them a bit more justice in the future. Now, if only the perfect frames will magically come my way...lol!<br /><br />I think that you're right about the sewing thing. Mom thinks I'm foolish, but I'm telling you, her machine has a mind of it's own. You know how some 'family' pets only really answer to one person? Well, Mom's sewing machine is her faithful sidekick, and doesn't much relish working with someone else. I swear, if it were a cat, it would turn its back on me and walk away every time I chanced to come near it. The fact that it can't just up and run away does not improve its temper much methinks. Thanks for the encouragement though. Perhaps it and I will have to work our differences out ;) Or kill each other trying!Aurelia Eglantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998483816892542367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420053805409977271.post-57497654280957871312011-03-19T21:08:02.740-02:302011-03-19T21:08:02.740-02:30I've never seen that freebie series before and...I've never seen that freebie series before and I love Dragon Dreams. It looks like the perfect "fantasy" lover piece. :) Good for you for digging them out and thinking about finishing them off. <br /><br />Sewing is intimidating when you first begin. Like you, I always asked my mom to do it until I lost patience waiting for her. I took matters into my own hands and just sort of figured it out. Now, I own my own sewing machine and love sewing almost as much as stitching!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360696870772219311noreply@blogger.com
