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 - Floral Place Mats

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.. 

<front side>

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. :)

Cross Stitch - Estate (etc-Summer) from Sara Guermani




Just finished!

It took about two months to complete it from end of May, 2014.
Although cloud, sheep, milk cows, and geese stitched by white color floss are invisible with cream/gold aida,  it's still very pretty and charming :)
