Hi all. I hope everyone had a smashing weekend. I am truly exhausted from throwing my almost 7-year-old daughter a "Ladybug" themed birthday party today. She had 7 of her sweet little girlfriends over and we ate, crafted, sang and watched a movie together. It was adorable. I hope to share pics of this soon - maybe later in the week.
But for today I'd love to show you these embroidered pennants I finally finished.
I found the pattern in Charlotte Lyons Etsy shop and ordered it right away. The white cotton came printed with the images right on it. All I had to do was stitch it in my favourite shades.
Honestly, I did most of the stitching last summer .....and then it sat idle for all of the snowy season.
Recently, I finally dug it out and added the ric-rac borders and the red ribbon edging.
I chose very "Cath Kidston-esque" colours which go perfectly in my apple-green painted living room.
I haven't embroidered in ages. It felt good to be back at it. Perhaps I need to get my hand on another stitching project right away. Maybe cross-stitch this time......
Hugs to all,
B.
Oh my gosh....I love that banner! It is absolutely precious...:) I am going to have to make one....I have been wanting to start an embroidery project...it's been years, and I think this is it! Thanks for sharing...:)

So cute!! I am off to find a picture of your apple green living room :-) xoxo
ReplyDeleteSuch patience and the colours will compliment your apple green living room. I haven't touched cross stitch since spending two years on a huge 'flowers in a jug' project. Hmmm, maybe a spring project?! Glad everything went ok for your little one's party, I miss those younger years parties, my two as teenagers have more scary, stressful ones! Have a lovely week. Chel x

ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable and you did a lovely job with the stitching! I may have to make myself one from all the embroidery samplers I've been hiding in the closet.
ReplyDeleteYour embroidered bunting is so sweet, especially with the ric-rac edges. I bet it does look perfect against your green walls.
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute. I have been wanting to get back into embroidery for a while now. Thanks for sharing. I found you via More the Merrier Monday

Your pennant is absolutely darling. I saw it featured on Cozy Little House. I think I am going to have to go over to Charlotte Lyons Etsy and buy the pattern.

ReplyDeleteI hit something that did now show me I had published my comment so I hope you don't get this message twice.
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of completing 30 projects in 30 days. The projects are things I pinned over the last couple of years. One that I posted about today was inspired by the little banner you created. I wanted to let you know that I showed your banner and mine next to one another and mentioned your blog.
