Crazy for ..... - Laundrette project part 2

Here is an update of my laundrette project.

For the  backstich I used 2 strands and for the apron, 

feather duster and the washing up liquid 3.

I will stitch everything in very bright colours.

I am not sure about the apron. 

For the apron I used a purple variation thread.

What do you think????

Have a nice day

Crazy for.......- Laundrette project part 1

In our caravan at the Belgium seaside I have no washing machine 

so I go once or twice a week to a laundrette.

I tought it would be funny to have a laundrette-project.

Lucie Heaton designed some squeaky clean charts (apron, duster....).

The designs are not so complicate  -

perfect for me so I can chat and stitch in the laundrette!!!!!!

For this project I will use only stash materials.

Have a nice day

Bring me sunshine!!!!

#

This week there was a lot of rain and wind at the seaside 

so I decided to stitch the Bring me Sunshine-kit. 

And yes it works. 

Today there was no rain and a lot of sunshine!!!

The kit was designed by Jane Prutton (Cross Stitcher Magazine 294 - July 2015).

Unfortunately the evenweave fabric is to 

small to create later the fab sunglasses case.

I start stitching everything on aida fabric which I had already in my stash.

Have a nice day

Kokeshi Doll Card

Hello,

I have finished my next free cover kit.

It is a Japnese Kokeshi doll.

I am not sure to use it as a card.

Maybe I do a needlecase............

Koala Card

In my stash there are a lot of free cover kits of several cross stitch magazines.

This is my latest result:

a koala card designed by Angela Poole,

I don't like the big googly eyes....the koalas look a little bit wired or?

Have a nice day
