"The Perfume" - Small Finish

While I have been working on unpacking and tidying up my new house (I've just moved), I haven't been able to stitch much like before, so just at night after my son has slept, I have been stitching a little by little, until I settle down I have to be patient a bit...

So, today I share my small finish that I have done yesterday!
Do you remember that I had shown it off as a Christmas present from my Aussie friend Fiona?
This is a DMC small kit and I thought I can't mess around more than now, I've chosen this small one!

After I finished stitching, I was thinking how to finish this... and I realized that I have a beautiful fabric just perfect for this stitched piece, and found PINK basket at the shop near my place, so decided to make a basket lid!

Fortunately the colours of this stitch, flowery fabric, and pom-pom trim are match so well together, and also a basket!

I used Aida which was in the kit, so was a bit difficult to make a beautiful circle shape, but the process of making a lid was so much fun!

I'm quite satisfied of this result, I think the result turned out so beautiful, especially the colour matching, it's very lovely than I expected!!

Here is a photo of inside the basket, I also used the same fabric for the back of lid.

I'm so glad that I could finish this earlier than I thought, because I really wanted to stitch this as this kit is from my dear friend!
On the same day I've finished this basket, I've received a photo of us (Fiona + my son and I) from her!
Now I'm going to e-mail to let her know that I finished this "The Perfume"!
I hope she will be happy to see what I've done with her present!

By the way, dear friends and visitors who left me warm comments...
I'm so sorry for keep you waiting...
I haven't been able to reply to your e-mails at all, actually it quite takes time for me to write in English, so please wait for me to write you back! :D
