Lavender bag

My daughter found my stored lavender, so I made her a lavender bag. The fabric is a piece of leftover from Cath Kidston.

The lavender was from my garden two years ago. The smell is still wonderful. I put them in the sunshine. The smell gets even stronger.

This is the tin I used for my lavender. It's cute, isn't it? We don't have a garden now. But I grow lavender in the pot on the balcony. It does well. I hope I am able to fill in the tin again this year. 

A peek at Création Point de Croix

The original French cross stitch design magazine Création Point de Croix

is really lovely. Here are some pictures from the recent issues. I'll be in France in July and will certainly go for one.

Buttons'n bears May update

I haven't done too much with the bears. It's kind of boring now and I started a new project to have a rest. 

It's 'Little birds' from Lanarte. It's very small but in 27ct 1x1 stitch. My eyes!
