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..

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

It's freebie. Click here to download chart.

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.
