5 O’clock – Ink Circles

 At last I can share my fully finished secret stitch with you.

You may recall I mentioned that when I first saw this chart I knew I had to stitch it for a very special friend, Sandy by way of a thank you for all the times she took to hospital appointments after my hip surgery in April.  

Also, her partner, Derek is our bar person when we have get-togethers and he mixes up a mean cocktail, so this couldn’t have been a more appropriate stitch.

I made one small change and made the Martini at 10 O’clock into an Expresso Martini, which is my favourite tipple, and I’ve added some coffee beans.

The 12 x 12 frame was a picture that I purchased from ‘The Range’.  I removed the original picture and used the pinning method to mount my stitch. and then used some 'old gold' rubbing wax to add a little bit of shine to it.
