I took advantage of some park time to embroider a bunch of Aneela's flowers...
I even successfully tried out some new stitches...
Not sure what I am going to make with this yet, but I will be taking heed of the lessons learned from my next effort...
I had a cunning plan over the weekend to make a little change purse out of some Summersville with a cute little orange house, but was scuppered at the final hurdle, when the only thing I could easily slip in would be a credit card, a folded note, maybe one coin or a wafer thin mint...
It was destined as a gift, but I have since whipped up something else, which I will show you once it has arrived.
One bit of embroidery that has reached its new owner was the little hoop that I made as part of my In The Frame Purse Swap parcel...
Can you see why I couldn't show you before!?
The whole parcel arrived safely and has gone down well with my lovely friend Deb.
So have you managed to stitch and cheer on your team?

ReplyDeleteYes!!! There's my stitchery....my lovely stitchery!! And I'm hoping you noticed where I proudly display it on my blog sidebar!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitchery goodness! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI do love the purse though,...even if may hold only a credit card.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! You're really loving this, aren't you? It's shows ;)
ReplyDeleteI've been stitching and cheering - but had to stop to watch Bolt!!
ReplyDeletei have been cheering lots and lots, but really mostly crying and crying... i am a sentimental sap!
ReplyDeleteLoving those flowers! The purse is so cute! =D
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely stitchiness there, bugger on the mini-ness of the purse though
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching - perfect for sitting in front of the Olympics!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I am cross stitching in front of the Olympics. Alas the only sport at which we appear to be any good - boxing - does not lend itself to sitting quietly stitching!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great parcel you sent off. I need to learn some embroidery stitched. You and others do such fun projects.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and very summery too I might have to have a go at this myself. Whoever gets your swap parcel is very lucky, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI adore your coin purse with the orange house! Love, love, love how just that little stitching adds so much personality to the purse!
ReplyDeleteLove the coin purse....with a credit card, coin and a mint you can buy a surprisingly large amount of suff!
ReplyDeleteThis is so uber cute. You are AMAZING!
