Got Luck?

I'm very proud of myself for having this month's ornament stitched and finished early. 




This is a freebie by Plum Street Samplers.  Here's the link to the chart: http://plumstreetsamplers.typepad.com/plum_street_samplers/2011/03/got-luck.html

I stitched this for my friend Sue who is nuts about St. Patrick's day.  She is the only person I know who decorates for the occasion.  The green pins were made by dipping regular white pins into green fingernail polish.

I love your finish! I stitched this one up last year and it's still waiting for its final finishing. I'm hoping to finish it soon and add it to my St. Patrick's Day decor.

Your friend, Sue is not the only one to decorate for St. Patrick's Day - I have a tree with Irish flags, pots of gold, shiny shamrocks and Irish lace garland! I love your ornament. How clever to think of using nail polish to get the color you wanted.
