Cross Stitch - Black work Biscornue

A black work is very fascinating.
I picked this pattern of several samplers and finished it as a biscornue.

I think it is more gripping by adding a black tassel with a silver beads. :)

I hung it on inside of the front door with a wind-bell.

Cross Stitch - Lavender Car Freshener

It's 4th work of Lavender Collection following needlebook, scissors case, and humbug. I think it's the most smallest and cutest of them. :)

I replaced french nuts with purple beads on back side because it's difficult for me to do french nuts as the same size. And I finished it filled with fiberfill although title is "Car Freshener" :) It's good to use it as scissors fob or pin cushion.

Cross Stitch - Watermelon Biscornus

Finished the Water Melon Biscornus.

A watermelon is my one of favorite fruits.

Front side is half of one and back side is four slices..

It's not easy to stitch almost whole front side with with red color. But, after finished it seems to be deliciously ripe. :)

Cross Stitch - Lavender Bouquet Scissors case

It's my third work of Faby Reilly's Lavender Collection.
The first one I finished is Lavender Bouquet Needlebook, the other is Lavender Bouquet Humbug.

I replaced beads instead of French knot at the corner. I thinks it's more beautiful.
Actually it's difficult for me to stitch French knots as the same size. :) The reason why, I did it.

I picked the line clothes printed small purple dots, I think.. dots prints matches well with lavender blossom. :)
