Two Finishes

Well, that is really one finish and one almost finish. 
When I work two projects at the same time, I hardly ever finish both at the same time. 
It just happened with the two I have been reporting. 
First, let's see the finish. 

It is such a good feeling to have actually finished the needlebook and its co-ordinating scissors fob. 

Hooray, the stitching is finish on the no longer sad little sampler. 
You will see it once again after I have had it framed. 

Now I will select a new project and a new UFO.  
Choices, choices

I should have been a bit more observant.  Not all readers of this blog know North American birds.  Phoebies are cute little birds.  Here is a little information about them.  This little description also has a recording of its calls.  If you listen to it, you will discover how they were named.  First thing this morning, I hear one of them calling.
