Since I completed the stitching on Alyssum Scissors Pocket this past weekend and I was working from home on Monday, the finishing bug apparently decided to give me a little nibble. I put together the scissors pocket and framed two other pieces. Granted, these two pieces already had the mounting board cut and the pieces had already been pinned to the board, so all I needed to do was to lace or glue the piece to the board, let it dry, remove the pins and then insert the pieces into their frames.
The scissors pocket wasn’t too bad to put together and I’m fairly satisfied with how it turned out:

The first framed piece was The Golden Pineapple by Eventide Designs. I found the perfect little frame for it at Walmart. I forget who I sent the kit remnants to (I think it was Chelle), but I have an extra of this frame, if you are interested. This little pineapple now sits on my desk at work:
The second “framed” piece was Wildflower Hearts, a freebie by Catherine Strickler of Indigo Rose. I stitched this one two years ago and had always meant for it to become a trivet, including purchasing a blank trivet at the Sudberry House garage sale when I went up there last August. Now it will finally be able to fulfill its purpose in life:
I love your scissors pocket, your framed pieces turned out lovely.
Your finishing and framing are beautiful. I really like the scissore pocket..
Lovely!
I have saved and downloaded the Catherine Strickland – I own the Catherine Agnes, and cannot see myself doing this soon, so maybe the wildflower hearts will get done before Catherine Agnes.
(I have to make some scissor keepers and fobs – soon!! Ha Ha!!)
Oh, Jenna, you did a GREAT job!! 😀
Lovely, lovely finishes Jenna!! You’ve been quite busy! 🙂 ((((hug))))
You have been busy! The Scissor Pocket is beautiful – you do such nice finishing as well as stitching. I love your little pineapple – what a great piece to look at while you’re at work! Sent you an email yesterday – hope everything’s ok.
Beautiful finishes Jenna! Congratulations!
I found your post! Your pocket looks great. I’ve no clue where my linen and pattern are. tho, I am sure I still have it : )
I like the small fob you put together – makes a nice set!
Enjoy your week-end ….
