As soon as I finished smothering Babe and the boys in kisses upon my return from Mexico, I tore into my awaiting Chuck Pinnell package...
Inside, my much anticipated needlepoint belt finished with Chuck's sterling hoof pick...
I may have to dub this one as my all time fav completed projects and can not wait for my red velvet Belgians to arrive and officially complete my uniform du jour...
And, killing two birds with one stone, a pic of the belt annnd a filled request for a sneak at my tan. Anymore than this sliver of exposure under my Petite Bateau tee and Dr. Proper will have a coronary over his Morning Dew... Kindness of good ole Maxminimus for the heads up that my hoof pick (he has a more colorful name) buckle apparently has now made it onto the TSA's list of regulated items allowed for carry-on. Between this and the pearl handled buck knife charm on my bracelet I'm a walking lethal weapon...XXOO
What a fabulous gift!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Babe deserves one of these belts.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. How long did it take you?

WHoo!! Look at that tan, girl. I'm jealous. LOVE THAT BELT!!! And welcome back to the good US of A.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I went on the Chuck Pinnell website. They're in Crozet!!!!! I am going there to visit/shop very soon - as soon as the snow melts.
ReplyDeleteSee, Allie? You're spurring on the economy. Tell Babe that (think he'll buy it?)You truly are an All-American Girl.
GORGEOUS!!! That might be the belt I have to make! What a wonderful welcome home!
ReplyDeleteLoving the belt and jealous of the gorgeous tan! Have a great day. xoxo
ReplyDeleteDear Allie,
ReplyDeleteThe belt is fantastic. I cannot wait for another Belgian shoe post. Thanks for sharing, Denise
Wow. The belt is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me! Since my mentioning a JDR after reading your post about it so long ago my BF drinks one daily, he can't get enough!
ReplyDeleteSo I should be thanking you for my toned arm muscles, courtesy of lugging home cases of MD from the grocery store!
I love it! Needlepoint is such welcome respite for mine eyes.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the belt...can't wait to see the Belgians...I'm overdo for some new ones...my last pair was a year ago around Xmas...black patent with kelly-green piping...
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Love it so much! Perfect choice for finishing.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on an elephant belt, can't wait til it's done.
Very, very handsome! Lol ;-) at the more colorful name for hoof pick! I think Belgians are perfection on a woman, but only on a woman, yes?

So jealous of your tan. What I wouldn't do for a tan in early February.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! And that is just such a great buckle.
ReplyDeleteRequesting Belgians post when they arrive please!

Love the belt - so fabulous! I order a hoof pick belt for Hubby for Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and cheerful blog you have. I'm delighted to have discovered it. By the way, I advocate that both men and women wear Belgians...they're too fun to limit to just one of the sexes.
