Vintage Style Postcards - Life's a Beach part 5

I have finished my 2. vintage seaside postcard.

I have only to add a bead (I have to learn how to stitch French knots!!!!!).

I changed a  little bit the chart. I stiched 2016 and not 2014 (postmark).

I really like the postcard!

Have a nice day

This coaster is really perfect! 

Unlike other coasters they closed perfectly

Will definitely be buying more myself.

Shopping / How to store my threads

Today I received my order from sewandso! 

I try to tidy up my material.

At the moment I have just a chaos. 

I have lots of different threads (DMC,

Anchor, thread with no label stickers).

In the past I put it in plastic bags..and than my bags disappeared!!!

I ordered 3 DMC,storage boxes, needles, DMC plastic floss bobbins,

DMC stranded cotton number stickers, 

2 square acrylic coaster, 2 clear plastic bookmark covers.

I bought me also the lastest issue of The World of Cross Stitching.

Now I spent my pocket money for this month!!!!

Have a nice day

Vintage postcard- Life is a beach part 3

Here is the next update of my second nautical postcard.

Some weeks ago I bought some fabric, pegs and a photo frame.

I will cover the back of the frame with the light blue fabric (with tiny white dots).

I stitched also some tiny nautical charts designed by V. Enginger.

I will display them betweem the postcards.

I can use them also for my little nautical dollshouse beach house.

Have a nice weekend
