Shelf / Living Room update / Beach House

Here you can see my little nautical cross stitch projects 

in the holiday home.

I like the nautical Beach House style. 

I hope my guest feel comfortable with it.

I think I need a little bit more red.

Maybe I stitch a message sign f.e.

Lazing on a sunny afernoon! / Part 1

This is a photo of my first big cross stitch project.

It is a row of beach huts designed by Lisa Reakes.

It is nearly finished! I hope to finish the white beach hut and the details this week.

I am a little bit shocked how long I need to finish this project.

The magazine says approx. 50 hours....... maybe 50 years???

o.k. to be honest I started the project with nearly about no experience of cross stitching.....

Later in the chart I found fractional stitches and French knots...

I had no idea about these stitches.....

You see I am a totally beginner!!!

I really like this colourful design!!!

Can't wait to start my next nautical cross stitch project.

Greetings from the Belgium seaside

Beach House Kit by DMC

This little beach hut was my first cross stitch project in January 2015.

It is a kit by DMC.

Name: By The Sea / Beach House

Design size: approx. 7.5 x 7.5 cm

I like the seaside and so I bought several small nautical kits.

I was a little bit shocked how long I need for this kit....... but I am really happy about the result.

Have a nice day,

Sonja
