Lots happened in August. I had good days and bad days, but I shall keep only to happy thoughts for my August roundup post.
A 3-D Birthday wishes is in a little treasure box/closet of her favourite things
with a sneak peek of her college mates on their colour theme day; Red for girls and Blue for boys
The last book on the shelf actually open up to pages with written wishes from everyone at home.
My first attempt at baking a Rainbow cake, doubt I'll ever bake a second one after this.
All I can say is that it's tedious and took me a day to bake and in a rush I forgot the flowers for the cake top. The blue candle is a musical candle that plays Happy Birthday when twisted
The next card for Mom in a flatfold finishing
Mom shared the same birthday month with Diane with only a day apart.

The Workbasket Freebie - Pink Flower
32ct Linen. Thought this would be a quickie but stitching this felt like forever. I had an on off stitching affair since I started it on June 26. Threads all original DMC colors it called for. Finishing will be later .
A secret stitching project in August
I need the grids to stitch this, yet I kept getting cross-eyed.

"Au nom de la Rose" design adapted from driada7.ru
The Spider Web Rose Stitch is so intimidating, while the Rhodes Heart stitch, my first attempt is so daunting. Can you imagined I even thought of replacing Rhodes Heart stitch with a button ?
Somehow I gathered enough courage an attempted the Rhodes Heart with not so satisfying result nor did I perfected it. So MW, please pretend you didn't notice 'wink'
My first such finishing yet cheating the finishing on the inside of the stitching pouch.
Replacing the needle section with felts instead of more Rhodes Heart which I have no confidence of attempting successfully
Fabric Linen 32count
Margaret's Birthday card with her favourite item; pincushion, only that it's barely visible
Margaret's Birthday package
I was days late in mailing this out, needed a bit more time to finished the pouch
I received words of its arrival a couple of days ago.
With left over batter from the Rainbow cake I made some half a dozen of Ferrero Rocher cuppies. I think I am loving this more.
Thanks so much for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend.
