Merry X-Mas Kit 1

Yesterday I finished my ALDI X-Mas kit.

I used MADEIRA metallic thread 4014 and 4057 (a free cover gift from 

The World of Cross Stitching issue 261) for the ornaments and leaves.

It was tricky to stitch!!!

Now I have to buy a little 6" (15 cm) hoop and a festive ribbon.

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

Bring me sunshine!!!!

#

This week there was a lot of rain and wind at the seaside 

so I decided to stitch the Bring me Sunshine-kit. 

And yes it works. 

Today there was no rain and a lot of sunshine!!!

The kit was designed by Jane Prutton (Cross Stitcher Magazine 294 - July 2015).

Unfortunately the evenweave fabric is to 

small to create later the fab sunglasses case.

I start stitching everything on aida fabric which I had already in my stash.

Have a nice day

In February I will become an auntie (for the third time)

on a magzine rack.

I have stitched a cute little bunny designed by Margarete Sherry.

The name of the kit is

Birthday Bunny, The World of Cross Stitching Issue 200

Today I will sew a felt frame on the rack and decorae it a little bit.
