Blue Bird

I have stitched a blue bird.

Designed by Anette Eriksson.

I used blue variegated thread.

I am not sure what I do with my bird...

Here is a link about variegated thread:

Annette Eriksson Oars Kit

I have finished my second Annette Eriksson oars kit. 

I am not really happy about it. 

I added also some backstitches but it looks so boring. 

Any idea to pimp it?

Maybe to stitch the text welcome aboard??????

Have a nice sunday

Anchor Kit by Anette Eriksson

Finished my anchor kit designed by Anette Eriksson. 

It looks like a sailor tattoo, or?

I added also backstitches without it was a little bit boring.

The fabric is glued into the hoop and is not very fine!

 I will glue some white felt on the back and then 

I will try to paint the hoop. I like grey.

On the 2. photo you can see my new kits 

which I bought me from my christmas money)

Anette Eriksson Lighthouse Kit / Pillow

photos: www.anetteeriksson.com

Last week I was bargain hunting on ebay uk. 

Bought me this Anette Eriksson Lighthouse kit for just

6 pounds (incl. shipping)! 

In the kit is the chart, needle, ready made pillow cover with backing 

and zip and navyblue thread!!!!!! The pillow is great front: 11 ct Aida, 

back: navyblue fabric.

My camera is not working so I used the photos of the lighthouse kit

 from A. Eriksson website.

On the other photos you can see some of my cross stitch 

projects which are in our rental seaside chalet (living room). 

This year I will stitch again little projects for it. 

I am not sure if I stitch the lighthouse on the pillow.....maybe I frame 

it in a hoop. 

I will not wash every week the pillow!!!!!

Have a nice day!!!!

Merry Christmas Banner Project for 2016

Last month I won an Anette Eriksson's Merry Christmas banner kit on ebay uk for just 6 pounds!!

The kit contains:

white fleece pre-edged blanket with printed design, stranded cottons, needle, chart and instructions.

I will stitch it on Aida 11 ct. fabric. 

I tried to stitch on the fleece blanket but I was not satisfied with the result. 

My idea is to use the fleece blanket as wadding material. 

I hope also to find a red/white tartan fabric for the back 

(so it is easierer to cut and sew......).

In the Cross Stitcher Magazine (Issue 232, November 2010) 

are further charts by Anette Erikrisson. I will stitch also the sachets. 

For that I bought me this week 2 cinnamon fragranced sachets.

Do you like my christmas project?

Have a nice day!!

Walking on the Beach / Part 1

At the moment I stich an Anette Eriksson kit.

It is a stamped front cushion cover.

The kit contains the fabric (half linen/half cotton), 

needle and thread (3 colours).

It is a really relaxing stiching (I have not to count!!!).

Enjoy!
