I'd really appreciate for them, indeed!
Today I share another basket lid which I've made for my dear friend Angela.
I have made the same style of basket lid before, though I knew that Angela liked this very much and she LOVES pink (so do I), I have made the same style for her.
(The stitched piece is different from the last one...)
Actually I wanted to send this for her Birthday in Feb. (too late!!), but I wanted to add and make something special for her, but to make it, I needed to sew by sewing machine...
That is what made me lose my nerve and finally I couldn't sent it to her...
I'm so sorry Angela, next time when I pull out sewing machine, I will make one for you!
Here is the inside of the basket.I used the same fabric as the front, and added pom-pom trim around the edge.
My mum also liked this basket lid, so when she has came here to see us, she has made the same one (but the stitching piece was different...) with me!
As I know that Angela loves pink so much, this time I made a "pink box" for her!
Everything were pink, I added pink ribbons, pink trims and braids, pink fabrics, pink buttons etc... etc...
And I wrapped the box with pink paper!
I've heard that she has received my parcel safely and she loved everything that I've sent her, so I felt very relief and was so happy to heard of it!
By the way, recently I've received lots of e-mails from my old friends and they all are now pregnant!!! OH my! What's going on!
Just 2 months ago, also my old friend (one of the member of our group) have just gave birth to a baby girl, and I promised to stitch something for a sweet baby girl!
BUT! now around me, there are totally five (besides they all are my dear friends!) friends are pregnant!!
Do I need to stitch for all of them, lol?
I should be an "Asura", I need 5 more pairs of hands, otherwise I can't manage everything!!
So I will stop to join in any exchanges for a while after June (except private exchanges or SALs)...
I hope I can present something even small for them to celebrate their new born babies!

By the way, here it is, my grass dog!I knew that lots of people are looking forward to seeing his photo from their comments, so they might be laughing at him by now! LOL
My little son is also looking forward to seeing him every day, and he is very excited and after that laughing at him!
His hair grow so fast, don't you think?
This photo was taken on 25th, so now his hair is more longer than this photo!! lol
I think I will be able to tie his hair up with ribbon soon, lol
What kind of hair style would you like want me to do for him?

I love that basket lid! Pink is a favourite colour of mine, so it appeals to me very much. The pom-poms look fantastic on it too. What an amazing idea and the pink basket looks great with it.
Is that a cross stitch piece you've done in the background, Yuko? It looks like M Designs - Sampler Girls, right? I've just got this chart recently. It looks very beautiful.
Oh my, that doggy is growing hair so fast! I think he will need a trim soon.:)
A truly wonderful finish and such a special gift for your friend.
The doggy looks cute, he'll soon need a haircut!

Yuko,
I am so lucky to be the owner of this beautiful pink basket :>) It now has my favourite buttons and ribbons in it. It is perfect Yuko and I love it, thank you so much. I love the beautiful rose you have stitched on it and the pom pom trim is so delicate. Everything is pink....hmmm! Thank you so much for all the lovely treats you sent with it. You are so generous :>)
