One last for August

Mail Art replacement for Aw who did not get hers from her partner for the Pink Theme exchange at Mail Art Friends group. This has been delayed for so loooong. So sorry Aw to have you kept waiting. I bet you must have given up hopes ;P

The back, a combination with two different cotton fabric and little bows to hold the flap.

Tralala, L'Heure du The'

My August stitching with someone in mind, stitching up the alphabets was easy and quick, so easy and quick that there were errors somewhere without me knowing, yeah and me not telling , yet I didn't un-pick because it was too much of stitching done already, also because there was no harm to the design and so I let it be. Its not that obvious either. I was also torn between the tea cup and the teapot and finally decided for the teapot minus the three hearts as I was stitching from the tea cup design.  Am I confusing? never mind me ramblings, its all about choices and likes.

Its  another box finishing with an added pocket and below,  a peek inside

A closeup of the  pincushion in matching fabrics , I don't know what this is called but I have seen it, quite a while back.

This can go into the box, overall I forgot to measure the finished size.The box estimated to be somewhere around 15cm X 8 or 9cm .  In corpora ting the design from the same chart, I finished into a needlebook with the same method of finishing as the one I did earlier for Shanny (June posting), the difference is having  a ribbon for a tie-up closures instead of a button.

There's two ribbon added actually, one to hold the pair of scissor, the other to whole it all.

 The person in mind was Margaret W's, whose  birthday was  last week, and I heard she had a great day!

 The new start that was talking about was this, the Once Upon A time series from LHN. This is the first chart 'Dream'. I plan to stitch all three in a row and I think I made quite a good progress with the stitching and did not get diverted to something else, thou I have also started to chart the last round of the LHN/CCN Stitching Needlework Round Robins for Joanne . More details later.

Something whimsy to share. Diane found these Angry Birds cups in a DIY shop while shopping for some birthday gifts and had to get it for her friends.I hope I had not posted this before. LOL

Tomorrow the country celebrates another festivity, here's me wishing to all my Muslims readers, Selamat Hari Raya Adil Fitri, drive safely on your balik kampung journey and Happy Holidays to those going on holidays
