Anchor Tag / My Nautical Bottle

Stitched this little anchor designed 

by Veronique Enginger.

Last year I bought this little blue bottle for € 1,99 (Zeeman). 

I like glass buoys but everything what I found 

was to expensive (about € 30,00 and more).

My problem is that some of the tenants are not vey careful with 

the decoration/accessoires!

I will not buy every week new decoration / accessoires for my chalet so I have to find cheaper ones which I can pimp (that is a real challenge).

Nautical Patchwork Quilt

Last week I bought me lots of pre-cut fabric in my local charity shop! 

I was over the moon!!! I paid less than a fiver!!!!

I will sew a patchwork quilt / plaid for my bed! 

I will stitch some of the nautical badges or little swimming costumes 

(see photo 2 & 3 - I stiched them in 2015 / 2016 designed by V. Enginger) 

on the checked fabric. 

I have so much fabric that I can sew also some cushions.

I have never done a patchwork quilt so it is a new challenge for me. 

I think with stitching and sewing I need a lot of time. 

But first I will finish all my unfinished work and projects for this year.

I found a website (o.k. google has done it for me) with lots of inspirations. 

Here is the link:

Have a lovely day!!!!

Nautical Necklace

Here is a photo of my new necklace. 

I have also stitched a little label for a small wooden box. 

I will transform it into a jewel case.

Have a nice day

Vintage postcard- Life is a beach part 3

Here is the next update of my second nautical postcard.

Some weeks ago I bought some fabric, pegs and a photo frame.

I will cover the back of the frame with the light blue fabric (with tiny white dots).

I stitched also some tiny nautical charts designed by V. Enginger.

I will display them betweem the postcards.

I can use them also for my little nautical dollshouse beach house.

Have a nice weekend

Yesterday I have stitched this lady.

In my stash I have lots of small aida pieces (unused cover kits)

Anchor - Nautical Jute Bag

Hello,

I have finished my anchor designed by V. Enginger! 

Now I work on my life buoy.

Later I will sew them on my Poundland jute bag.

In February I bought directly 2 of theses bags.

My first idea was to stich directly on the bag.

But later I found some brown Aida fabric (14 ct) which matchs perfect.

Have a nice day!

Anchor

Hello,

Here is a photo of my anchor designed by Véronique Enginger.

At the moment I try to do some handmade decoration for our

My idea is to do a little tag or so.
