I had been working on another cross stitch as a gift. This time it was for a wedding gift and I started it just about early enough to avoid having to pull a late night crafting session again. My sister had picked the kit and asked me to stitch it up for her to gift to her good friend on her wedding day. It is a lovely design and I love the finished piece (wish I had one myself). The vines and flowers did get a bit tedious but totally worth it
It's been washed and pressed since this pic but have left it for my sister to deal with the framing.
Once I'd got that finished I had time to pick up my crochet beach bag again.
It's big, very roomy but perfect for towel, book, sunnies, suncream, etc.. all the beach essentials. I should probably line it but haven't got round to that yet.
And finally a quick project I hooked up for my youngest daughter last week
It now hangs at the top of her bookshelf.
I'm off for a quick look around everyone else's finished projects you should go check some out too
The beach bag totally says summer by the water. I love the clean and fresh look of white with that aquatic blue. I really like the twisty vine of that cross stitch. So sweet of you to do that favor for your sister. I think bunting is always so fun. I'd like to make one for each of my daughters.
ReplyDeleteVery cute beach bag, totally love the pattern on it...all waves! The bunting for your daughter is very sweet as well :)
ReplyDeleteI love your bag!!! Really cute! I just stalked my library but they do not have that book in their system. Guess I'll have to add it to my Amazon wish list. It looks like a good one!
