Pretty Pleasures 1759 Framed

Hi, thanks for stopping by, and thank you for your lovely comments!
I've framed the "Pretty Pleasures 1759" © Plum Street Samplers the other day, and handed it to my co-worker who will get marry and will quit job the end of this month (today).

Pretty Pleasures 1759 -1

Hello, how have you been?
Thank you so much for your comments on the last post, and sorry that I haven't been replying you yet.

Now what I working on is this "Pretty Pleasures 1759" © Plum Street Samplers.
When I saw this design, I felt in love and wanted to stitch for a long time and the right time just has come!

Happy Birthday dear friend! - "Love Notes"

I heard that my dear friend received her present from Japan for a while ago, but after that no sound... Didn't she like this gift? lol
By the way, Happy belated birthday, dear my friend!

I have shown this as sneak peaks and as finished piece, then I finished as this into a sachet.

My friend doesn't do cross stitch nor embroidery.

This is designed as pincushion, though I added lavender in this mini and long pillow to let her sleep well, as I heard that she couldn't sleep well as she was thinking a lot about something when the last time we chatted.

I was very in hurry, so photos are not good, the below one is blury... sorry!
I added tassells on four conors of this sachet.

Just a quick post, I must take bath with Sweetie, and mum is nagging me to stop
playing with PC as always! lol

Strawberries are getting bigger a little by little.
And getting a bit red, now!

These were taken on 20th, so still green, though!











Must go!!!!
So, bye for now,

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

"Happy Day For You" (Freebie) For Belated Mother's Day

Finally I can show you this finished piece! whew...
Here is "Happy day for you" (Freebie) © Plum Street Samplers, I stitched this for Mother's day (10th of May) and could finish stitching in time, but finishing work took me much time, as I don't like and am not good on sewing machine...

I stitched this pattern on lavender colour linen (28ct DMC #3743), some thread colours were changed to fit this colour linen.

There was no nice wall in this house (lol, I mean they are old!), so I took photos on the piano, therefore not so good to see the entire piece, sorry.

I sewed linen picot lace both sides of the stitched piece, and added lavender colour lace on the bottom of it and also the fabric which I used for the background.

On the pole of tapestry, I put organza ribbon flower, too.
I gave this to my mum and now it's hanging on the wall of hall way.

Here is a photo which was taken with candle light...

Actually "Mum's the word..." is now in a WIP box and I don't feel like stitching it as I have to undo and re-stitch whole tree in the chart...
So mum, "Mum's the word..." will be for the next year, lol

Oh, a father's day is waiting for me in the next month, but it's OK, he can wait for me for a long long time as he is now in the heaven.
But dad, I will stitch for you, too! Wait for me, please! :D

Take care and thanks for your visit!

And happy stitching!!

"Love Note" Finished

Thank you so much for so many Birthday wishes for my Sweetie!
He had a wonderful birthday, but also he was got angry by my mum + I, as he was TOO naughty (maybe he was too excited, I think!)
I told him that so many my blog friends in the world say "Happy Birthday to you", he said "Wow!".
Thank you so much always for your lovely comment, I really appreciate for them all!

For a while ago, I stitched one of design of "Love Note" © Plum Street Samplers.
This design is for pincushion, I have never made such long type pincushion before, though I loved this words in French.

The charts was written to stitch all hearts, but I added crystal heart charm on the center, as I knew that I had this charm in my stash, so when I first saw this design, I thought to add this!

My mum and hubby nagged about my stash, though my stashes are very useful!!
If you had them as stock, whenever you need you can find the right item from the stash box! lol
Just an excuse, though...

I added "2009" , as this is for my dear friend's birthday present!
It's a bit hardly to see, but this was stitched with two colours, deep red and pink.

Here is the finished piece, I hope I could finish this nicely...
Now it's on its way, it should be there where the recipient is, but I have no sound yet...
I'm a bit worried now, it is taking so much time to get there!!!

Anyway, Thank you Paulette for this lovely design!

Take care and have a lovely weekend!
Happy Stitching!
