Cool. Mats are nice, although I've only ever gotten one project done and framed before, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. lol.

Maybe when I get a house and not renting, I'll just randomly duct tape pictures/cross stitches to the wall. Call it being artsy. :D

I've found while it's expensive, having a place custom frame odd shapes to be rewarding. I brought in a 13.5 x 6 to Michael's and am getting it done up with a double matte and a metallic frame. However, for something as small as this you may wanna buy a hoop you just squish it into and has a hangar built into it.

How much did that frame cost you? I have 2 other pieces about that size, and michaels would be where I would get something framed...

looks fabulous! looks like the perfect size for a patch on a garment like a canvas purse. if you can frame it you could always give it to me. i love this sooo much this was such a memorable childhood game for me.
Cats are awesome, just not when you are cross stitching.

Including HST, 60$ (CAD). Don't let the amount scare you too much; I bought double mattes and a better quality frame for a non-standard size piece.
