KITCHEN
A cute little design from Zaza Picque which I bought at a craft fair a couple of years ago. I finally found the time to stitch it this summer and luckily I already had a frame that fitted perfectly. Well worth the wait I am really pleased with the way it looks.

PATCHWORK & SHOPPING
Finally finished my patchwork cushion all hand sewn together...it took many hours to sew almost 200 hexagon shapes together but I think it was worth all the hours.
All sorts of material bits were used....including some Tilda and Laura Ashley.
SHOPPING.....So happy that today a parcel arrived from the Netherlands from a shop called Atelier Steekjes & Kruisjes .
When will I have time to create something........maybe I'll start straightaway.......

COUNTRY
There is some kind of attraction that brings me back to cross stitch country style....like the little jam pots I made in a previous post......hearts, bees,angels,sunflowers,alphabets....it all adds up to country. Plus I was able to use up once again all those left over bits of cottons.

ENGLISH BUYS
Royal Albert teacups...this one is for a friend whos Birthday is in February.
A Buckingham Palace china mug. Amazing that I found it at a carboot sale.What would the Queen think ....
Sweet little porcelain posies and a lovely brooch.
I fell in love with this cup for its tapestry pattern,,,even if the saucer is missing.
Some Wedgwood for people I know that collect it.

COUNTRY
Country designs came to mind for my little jam jars. Nice to work on without loosing too much time stitching .I have quite a few more jars to do and its a great way to use up some of the discarded threads that have become muddled into a whopping great bundled mess.
Un po di disegni country per questi piccoli barratoli . Sono veloci da ricamare .
Strawberries seem good enough to eat following Tilda design.
Fragole sembrano veri seguendo un disegno Tilda.

EMBROIDERY
So simple to make and a way to use up some of the charms that I have bought in the past. I made this yesterday evening and today it has found its place on my sewing shelf. If you want to make this just click Elisa for the free pattern. Happy sewing.

SEA SHELLS
What a lovely collection ........starfish .... seahorses ....and shells. I really enjoyed making these especially the shells and I think the seahorses are quite unique with their curly tails. These were made following instructions from the Tilda book " Sew Sunny homestyle". Her new book which I have pre-ordered from Amazon will be arriving in early June is called " Tilda's Seaside Ideas " can't wait to see it.
Mi piace molto questo collezioni di conchiglie. Specialmente i cavalli marini sono stupendi. Era un lavoro molto piacevole da. cucire. Si trovano i modelli nel libro di Tilda " Sew Sunny homestyle ". Non vedo ora di sfogliare le pagine del nuovo libro " Tilda's Seaside Ideas " che ho ordinato da Amazon.
