DMC Kit - ABC "Côte Ouest"

Here is a photo of my new kit DMC - ABC "Côte Ouest" / BK 1600 which I bought last week in Brugges / Belgium.

I know I have lots of projects but this is a very simple kit (no fractionals or back stitches). Perfect for a very hot day on the decking.

Design size: 47 cm x 18 cm / 14 count Aida

Beach House with Seagulls

Yesterday I have finally finished my beach house

(Cross Stitcher Magazine - August 2011

designed by Lucie Heaton).

For the house I used 

a blue/white stripeed cushion cover (so I need no interfacing),

toy stuffing,

 glass marbles (I was scared to use rice because in the caravan/chalet 

there is a lot of moisture in the winter!!),

miniature seagulls (I put them on pins...so I can change the position...)

thick red felt,

2 charms (a life buoy - Handmade with love)

and a red /white ribbon.

I am totally pleased with the result!!!!

Have a nice day

Swallow Brooch

I have finished my swallow brooch kit. 

It was a free gift  (Cross Stitcher Magazine 292).

The swallow is designed by Maria Diaz.

I really like it!!!

Have a nice day
