No stitching since February? ... & shh someone is having a giveaway

Well my posting hit a right down low ... excluding the stitchy jar no updates well since February. I have not vanished entirely, though have not stitched as much as I hoped for. Updates to follow later in the month. But for now wished to share what I found recently:

I stitched this from a compilation of photos about 7 or 8 years ago. The background was painted and then variety of stitches used. I can't believe I put myself through all those french notes ... But that's all for now,

                                                                           
P.S. The giveaway is on Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe some exciting threads etc. Mention that I sent you.
