I started a cross stitch pattern a few years ago and my eyes would not let me finish it, so Eileen a friend of mine who loves to do this type of thing and is pretty good at it, took the piece and finished it. She basically did the whole thing for me. Last week I took it to Out Of The Box, in Boaz, AL to have it framed. This is a quilt shop along with a cross stitch and frame shop. Joan and Susan are owners. Joan frames and Susan does beautiful quilting.
The frame I originally wanted was creepy and that was what I liked. It reminded you of the frame you would see in one of those old haunted victorian type homes. Well Joan said it was discontinued and I picked another. I am glad I picked the one I did. It turned out perfect.
Miss Mary Mack reminds me of a cross between Wednesday Addams and Lizzie Borden.
Here is the Mary Mack game poem for children.
- Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
- All dressed in black, black, black
- With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
- All down her back, back, back.
- She asked her mother, mother, mother
- For fifty cents, cents, cents
- To see the elephant, elephant, elephant
- Jump over the fence, fence, fence.
- He jumped so high, high, high
- He reached the sky, sky, sky
- He never came back, back, back
- ‘Til the 4th of july, ly, ly!

Love Mary !!!!!
I love it! Wish I could have seen the haunted frame you had originally picked out. I bet it was an interesting frame!
It was black like the one…but it looked old like the creepy ones you see in the old black and white movies from long ago…. where the eyes follow you on the pictures.
Love it! Reminded me of being a kid… said that song a million times!
