I have been busy stitching wise. I found Faby Reilly's designs by accident - but they are lovely, with many of them now on my to do list. Well, once I buy them lol. I have a couple to be going on with though. My first finish is her Lavender Bouquet Biscornu.
Next is a small Just Nan - Winter Violets. Can you tell my favourite colour is purple? I love these little ones of hers, I have heaps in my stash and really must do more of them. I painted a paper mache box for it - it is so cute, the colour goes well with the fabric, but does not show well in the pic.
Last but not least, a couple of cupcake pincushions from The Cat's Whiskers. I have some more of these stitched but sourcing the silicone cups at a reasonable price here has been slow. I'm thinking they will make nice pressies for both mothers for Mother's Day.

How cute. I love the little box...the colors are so pretty. And the "cupcakes" are the cutest thing!
I love your Lavender Biscornu, it turned out sp pretty. Your little box is adorable. I like lavender too. What a cute idea for the cupcakes. I am into cupcakes now and have collected quite a few designs. Just have to stitch some.
Have a great day,
Bonnie
These are beautiful finishes. I particularly love the biscornu. And the Just Nan is simply gorgeous.
Very nice work, Marie!

Very pretty!
That lavender biscornu is gorgeous. What stitch did you use for the flower petals? It really gives it a beautiful 3D effect. It almost looks like a 'trellis stitch' but I'm not sure. Lovely little box too. And the little cushions are darling.
They are supposed to be french knots, but I find colonial knots a bit easier. It come up so well doesn't it? You have me curious now though, what is trellis stitch?
Beautiful finishes Marie, I have my eye on some of Faby Reilly's designs too, they are quite gorgeous, Lavender is one of my favourite colours.
Very nice! Specialy lavander biscornu!
Ohhh it's so nice ! I love your lavender biscornu !

Lovely finishes! You have a nice blog. I'll visit again!
