To Italy with Love.....
Finally this last exchange of the Four Seasons series from Becky's BB 'Seasonal Exchangers' has reached its destination to Claudia in Italy, I must say the Italian post has me sitting on the edge of my seat !!
I chose for Spring, to stitch Blackbird Designs 'Vintage Blooms'. I love this pretty design :-)) I stitched 1 over 2 on 40ct Lambswool using DMC threads that are not the correct numbers as charted but are near enough. I finished it, just very simply into this wonderful wooden box lid as I knew the colours would be just perfect together :-)) Hope you think so too !
I am not in any more exchanges at the moment as I have rather too much on just now and I wanted to use some time to finish some little gifts I have been in the process of making for some of my stitching friends :-)) One has been on its way for over a week so it should arrive soon, I hope!! This is going to take this sweet lady completely by surprise LOL
Thanks for your visits you are very welcome and I always appreciate the comments you leave for me........ with the lack of sunshine around here they certainly brighten my day :-))
P.S. When the sun, this summer in England, decides to shine long enough for me to get my camera out and lighten up the grey sky, I shall take some pictures of my home to share with you, not that I am any good at all taking pictures of rooms but I will have a go ;-))

Helen,
Your choice of design and finish is once again inspired. I love the faded old fashioned look of this design and the beautiful way it fits so snugly into the box lid. What a wonderful special place to store precious treasures. Claudia will have some beautiful mementoes of her Seasonal exchange with you.
I loved seeing your home decorated for Christmas and I can't wait to see photos of how it looks now :>)
Warm wishes Angela

The picture is perfect, too. Designers should hire you to take pictures of their designs, you know.
It is lovely to be reading you again :) Hugs and love!
You do such beautiful work!
Such a beautiful exchange piece for Claudia. Such a perfect design for this box~
I wish that I could say that I had no "in progress" exchanges! I have too many stitching deadlines that are making me crabby! ;}
It's just beautiful!! xx
Beautiful box!!
That is beautiful!!!
This little bos is surely very nice ! Congrats !
It's lovely Helen, perfectly stitched and finished as always. :)
AS you can see Helen, I'm catching up with my reader today...although I should be cleaning my house but here I sit on my bum looking at blogs ;))))
Not a better way to spend a few minutes - If I do say so myself! Especially when I can see such lovely works as this one. Totally gorgeous and the simplicity of finish is what makes it the best! I love it and I'm sure your partner did too ;)
It's stunning!
Another beauty! It's great to see you posting again :)
