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

I really like the bright colours on the rustic aida fabric.

Of course I will also stitch rest of Lucie Heaton's designs!

Here is an update of my laundrette project.

For the  backstich I used 2 strands and for the apron, 

feather duster and the washing up liquid 3.

I will stitch everything in very bright colours.

I am not sure about the apron. 

For the apron I used a purple variation thread.

What do you think????

Have a nice day

Crazy for.......- Laundrette project part 1

In our caravan at the Belgium seaside I have no washing machine 

so I go once or twice a week to a laundrette.

I tought it would be funny to have a laundrette-project.

Lucie Heaton designed some squeaky clean charts (apron, duster....).

The designs are not so complicate  -

perfect for me so I can chat and stitch in the laundrette!!!!!!

For this project I will use only stash materials.

Have a nice day

Ship Ahoy

I have finished my project of the week.

I added  little bows and nautical embellishments (a wheel and a life-saver).

I think it looks nice in the kids bedroom.
