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!

Schwalm Sachet from N.

I've also got a beautiful gift from my Japanese stitcher friend N.
Here is the gift she gave me... She added the leather seats for me to use for handmade things, and she also told me a nice book to give an ideas to use leathers!
This is absolutely beautiful, isn't it?!
She added Lavender in it, and the Lavender scent is my favourite!



Sooooooo nice smell makes me relax...
I already have a nice book of white-work, but I really hesitate to start and try, because it seems so difficult, but this her beautiful work made my mind changed!

Oh, now I really want to try this Schwalm Embroidery!
But, I have so many things to do on cross stitch, have no time at all!!

By the way, thank you so much N.!
I really love it and definately will be my tresure!
