Jar of Sea Shells / Swimming Costume 1

I have done the next project for our 

holiday home (living room) 

at the Belgium seaside.

I stitched a swimming costume.

For this project I used a tiny rest of 14 ct. aida fabric,

threads, white felt and some buttons.

Hippy Holidays - Part 1

Today I went to my local charity shop where I bought a striped summer jeans

for just 1,00 €!!! That is really a bargain!!! The fabric (jeans) is perfect for one

of my future stitching projects:

Fishes

For the living room I have stitched 3 little fishes.

Now I have to sew and stuff them.

I will add them to the wooden ones.

I was not happy with the white ones - on a white wall....

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.
