Today it's my Japanese friend's Birthday.
I received a message from my dear friend S. that she received her Birthday Present from me safely today!
She loves LHN and CCN, so I choose this design from my stash.
Actually I was anxious if she has done this design before, but I so like this design and thought this would be her taste.
It was very pleasure to stitch for her, and this design was so fun to stitch!
I am stitching this design for my cousin, too and will stitch again for myself, too!
AND, my mum asked me to stitch for her, too, (lol) she is being greedy nowadays because I showed her online shop site and introduced so many designers.
She was so excited to see so many beautiful designs and said wants me to stitch them, as she has bad sight, she can't stitch complicated designs.
The model recommended Lambswool and I had it in my stash, but I thought this Belfast (Platinum) looks more similar with the model photo.Threads are recommended DMC threads.
I was planning to frame this and asked to make a mat for it.And here is the photo of it what I sent to my friend! Beautiful isn't it?
Here is a close up photo of the mat and frame.I asked to make 2 more mats for my cousin's and for mine, and both are different with this mat.
For my cousin, I choose lavender colour mat and I made double mat in same lavender and ivory for mine!
My mum will choose lavender single mat for hers.
I love this design so much, it's SO lovely in the frame, so no wonder my mum fell in love with this and asked me to stitch this for her, too!
Anyway, Happy Birthday dear my friend!

Let's keep in touch and stitch even though we became old ladies!
I will have to work on a piece for SWAP, so won't be able to show stitched piece for a while again, though will post some about my life or my family!

Beautiful, Yuko! I'm so happy to find your blog! Your son is adorable. My brother was born in Japan, many years ago near Camp Zama and my senior year in High School, I got to travel to Japan (Tachikawa Air Base) as a cheerleader for a Far East basketball tournament. We had a great time - visited Tokyo and ate wonderful food. I'll check your blog often.
Beautiful - a work of art, and a perfect and thoughtful gift. Good job!
