My friend's DD is doing her kitchen in a rooster theme.

Found a nice rooster picture at Michaels in punch needle. I hate punch
needle. So I'm filling him in with long-and-short stitch. She'll never
know that he's facing the other way from the picture on the box. :)

QUESTION: does anyone have a good source for 5x5 picture frames? I have
several items here that are going to need them. The best Michaels has
is an 8" frame with a 5" mat, but between the 2" wide frame and the 1.5"
wide mat, it really overpowers the 5" picture!

I found some reasonably priced on e-bay last year. I don't think I kept the
address, but I'll look later.

Your Michaels should have some "make it yourself" frames that you just pick
two packages and wield your screw drivers.

They do, but the shortest they have is 8", which again leaves us with a
mat almost as wide as the picture.
