Oldies

I have some oldies to show, found them while clearing the cupboard. These alphabets were stitched on Aida years ago from a Kit I bought - The Rose Alphabets by Donna Vermillion. I just love these alphabets but not sure what to do with them ha ha! What was my plan years ago ???

Fabric: 14ct white Aida
Thread: DMC

Fabric: 14ct Cream Aida
Thread: DMC
A closer look at my initial, beautiful isn't it?


These days I stitch exclusively on linens and evenweaves, all Aida cloths were given away to friends.


An update on Sara's  SAL Sorpresa 3. We were given 2 parts to stitch during the summer holidays, here are my progress... I really love this SAL, love how the scenery unfolds itself!


More houses...

A Village Church and look at those two deer...adorable!

I am still stitching on these 2 parts, lots of evergreens to fill in ha ha!


Some small finishes to show - biscornu, scissors fobs and coaster.. This biscornu is a freebie from Casaerba. I love the needlelace in the centre!


Look at the back, isn't it lovely too? I stitched the biscornu on 28ct cream linen, so it is big ha ha! Casaerba stitched her pink biscornu on 38ct Italian linen. Thank you  for this beautiful design!


These cube scissors fobs are so cute and tiny. They are fast to stitch too! The design is a freebie by Palko, thank you. The purple fob is a gift for my friend!

A closer look at the cube fob! It's stitched on 32ct linen using Nina's thread! That red/purple one was also stitched using Nina's threads. Her threads are gorgeous and lovely to stitch with, thank you Nina!


One of my earlier smalls finished as a coaster, love it!


My two DD went for a backpack trip to Japan recently. They brought back these beautiful gifts for me, love them!


A closer look at the box, bag, scissors and button!


I really love this pair of scissors, thank you Hui and Qi!


They also came back with lot of sweets and chocolates for the family, friends and colleagues!



I will update Dorothy and Sara's Summer in my next post! Thank you for your visits and comments!

Happy Stitching!
