I'm happy dancing tonight! I had an exchange with an artist in NY state. I went to high school with her daughter and we reconnected on Facebook a few years ago. Her Mom was a nurse like my Mom was. We both were candy stripers together and though we both started out in nursing, I switched my major after a few years, and Lady M continued on to be a nurse. Anyway...her Mom and I are Facebook friends and she has been watching my stitching...while I've been watching her painting. She recently mentioned she was having a yard sale and was going to sell some of her paintings. I said I wished I could attend because I have always admired her painting. She suggested an exchange and sent her painting right away.
I know she likes Santas, so I chose this pattern to stitch for her.
I've had some issues...LOL I've had to restart, then the frog visited a few times, but I'm finally finished. I hope she loves it as much as I love the picture she sent me. It reminds me of home...and yes, this looks like a mountain in the Adirondacks where I attended college. I really do love it, isn't she talented? Now my dilemma is to figure out how I should finish it. Any ideas?
Thanks for visiting! Happy Stitching!

What a super exchange, her painting is beautiful as is your Santa
A beautiful painting and a lovely stitched piece to exchange for it.
I think you both got a good deal!
