I only had 5 items finished in time for the county fair this year, they can be seen on my webshots page here:

I have another kit similar (different herb) and they are by Cross My Heart, the "Elegant Herb Kit" series. The package says (C) 1992!!! Probably why my LNS had them in the 'closeout' bin :)
Their website is defunct (won't come up) but I did find a listing of their stuff at 123stitch.com.
They're very cute nice kits! Your stuff looks very nice.

Cheryl - don't know whose that is - but check out the set of herbal sachet bags that is on Victoria Sampler site. I did "Chives" for a "Beyond Beginning" class, and have Rosemary on hand. They're really nice - and have a bit more than just XS - without being overwhelming - but most of them have a bit of pulled work, some other decorative stitches, and finish up really well.
I did D is for Dog and changed Puppy to Puff and made the ears and tail a little longer and fluffier to look more like him. They're really cute kits and make up very nicely.
Are the rest of their kits as well put together?

Too cute. You sound like me - I'm always altering the animals to be reflective of Puckster, or whatever other animal is in our life and appropos. I think once you start doing it, it's not that difficult - but the first time can be tricky.
Did you frame the finished piece? I'm just starting mine - I needed something as distraction from all the canvaswork and "serious" counted thread work. And this is definitely doable/finishable quickly.
Yes. We have about all of them in the shop, and they're very clever with different motifs for the letter, curlicues, etc. They all have that same linen, with thread, though the threads may vary - how much white, taupe, some perle . Anyhow, I like them a lot - they're good kits, IMOSHO.

Congratulations on the awards that your needlework won at your fair! I particularly like 'H is for Hilda' and the beaded Pink Ribbon.

I found a plain, white wash frame on e-bay that wasn't particularly expensive. I forget the name of the seller but I know she had lots of small, inexpensive frames in the odd sizes like 3 x 3 and 5 x 5. Maybe I was smart enough to bookmark the store.
I'm not much of a photographer but I'll try to get a picture of it on RCTNP.

Sounds like a good choice. In the shop we have a bunch of 4". 5" & 6" frames, which one of our regular framers has done a deal with the shop-owner for. They're only $20, with a piece of foamcore, and UV acrylic glazing. Nice moldings - so for little things - they're very handy. I tend to look around, or do a lot of soft finishes of late.

It is one of the Sweetheart Tree alphabet series, "H is for Heart", but I made it for my Mom, and her name is Hilda... so I changed it :)
Thought I recognized it....good change!
