Smuggler Bosson Head

Today I bought this little smuggler in a charity shop.

He was so cheap that I couldn't resit.

It is a Bosson head (smuggler, 1959).

He is not bigger than a hand!

Maybe I can use it for my pirate bedroom project?

Do you like him?

Have a nice day

Last week I bought me a Playmobil Pirate Ship....don't asked me why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is too big to put it on the shelf (just for decoration) 

and I am sure my little guests in the chalet will put it in pieces!!!!

I have now a super present for my nieces!!!! 

Just for Emma and Paula! Lotta is to small...not that something 

happend with all the small pieces.

I was looking around for a "smaller" pirate ship and found 

this cross stitch chart. 

Today I bought me all the threads which I can use also for the 

charts Play like a Pirate and the Pirat Skull.

The pirate ship is designed by Jenny Barton 

(Cross Stitch Gold - issue 42 - which I fund on ebay!!!!).

Have a lovely day!

Hello,

I would like to transformour tiny kid's bedroom (in our rental chalet) into a pirate room!

For that I bought me on 2 cross stitch charts on etsy.com 

Boths charts looks not very complicate! And have no backstitch! Perfect!!!!

Both charts look look not very complicate.

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:

Annette Eriksson Oars Kit

I have finished my second Annette Eriksson oars kit. 

I am not really happy about it. 

I added also some backstitches but it looks so boring. 

Any idea to pimp it?

Maybe to stitch the text welcome aboard??????

Have a nice sunday
