PIF Finish and wips

I finished a pay it forward gift recently, this one was for Jamie. It is a Lizzie Kate design called "life's a stitch." I am very proud of it as it's the first "finishing" i've done besides framing. As you can see i made it into a hanging ornament and used a green fabric for the backing. I really enjoyed making it.
As per usual, Tuesday was SAL day with Jamie. Unfortunately i was working from 10am - 8pm on Tuesday so i didn't get much done at all. You can see last weeks progress here and here's this weeks
I have made some good progress on my Lizzie Kate wedding piece this week. I should be finished this soon

I love your L*K Life's a Stitch, I have had it in my stash for ages and twice lately I have nearly stitched it. You have done a great job with your first finish...you will be well away from now on as it gets addictive...lol
