Helz Cuppleditch - Foldable Fabric Magazine Rack Back Finished!

Finally I have finished my kitten in the flower pot kit

(designed by Helz Cuppleditch).

Yes I know. My kitten is in a foldable magazine rack

and not in a flower pot.

I stitched the kitten so that one part of the paws

are on the little bag (it looks so that the kitten is in the bag).

The magazine rack is for my niece Lotta (8 months old)

who lives in Germany!

She looks really happy!

Have a nice weekend

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
