More cross stitch

I've been enjoying doing a bit of cross stitch lately and here are a couple I have finished in the last week.
The first one is a lavender filled sachet





The next one is a Scottish thistle pin cushion



and the third one is a little kit I got in a magazine last December. I'm planning on making it into a Christmas card at some point so I'm sure you'll be seeing him again at some point.

PINK!!!!

It's my little sisters birthday at the end of the month although she's not so little anymore she'll be 21!!

So I sat and made her card last night and well the only way I can describe it is PINK!!!

It's her all time favorite colour I hope she like's it.

Just dropped in quickly to show you....

Hiya

I've just dropped in quickly cause I've got loads to do today.

I just wanted to show you all the herb pots I altered for my kitchen window.

Oh and for those of you that are very observant you'll be wondering why there's two pot's for parsley well hubby say's he just has to have normal parsley and flat leaf parsley!! and if you argue with th cook then you just don't get fed...lol ...

Another cross stitch

When I haven't been busy in my shed I have been stitching away at this little project I got with one of my magazines. I finished stitching yesterday and have just finished cutting the mount and framing it. I thought it would look nice in my kitchen.

Speak to you all soon
