What to do on a Rainy Sunday? Stumped for something to do? Well I thought I would do a little stitching and finishing and here are my results.
As you might see I made some changes, I didn't like the straw coloured fabric that came in the kit - now don't get me wrong I love straw fabric but this cutey seemed to me to cry out for a gentler, softer fabric and so I had a good ratch in my stash and came up with 'Mountain Rose' by silkweavers, this is 32ct linen.
The back of the design shows the fabric colours a little better I think, as you can see its a kind of bluey/grey/pink and I do like the stitched finish on this fabric better - I used all the recommended threads that came in the kit and I also used the wonderful over-dyed silk ribbon and the tiny little amethyst beads, it says in the kit that they are teal coloured beads, but to my eyes they are definitley amethyst not a greeny colour at all (which is what I think teal is - my car is teal blue and its not purple LOL). As you can see I have also treated myself to the ginghers, though not engraved ones, they are such lovely colours on the handles - reminded me a little of Renoir colour choices in his paintings.

What a beautiful fob, and the scissors are pretty gorgeous too
Such a lovely fob! And it goes perfectly with your gorgeous gingher!
This is beautiful Su - I adore the ribbon edging, so delicate.
Wow - those scissors are beautiful! I love your finish, Su, and I think you're right with the change of color of the linen - it suits this design perfectly.

Beautiful fob!!!
I love the ribbon edge!!
So pretty!!!
Great finish Su! This design didn't appeal to me at first but after the recent happenings, perhaps I should buy it as a reminder of better times. I def. like it better on this soft blue you used!
Absolutely gorgeous SB fob Su. The ribbon edging and is perfect and I'm sure you are right about the fabric because it looks perfect on this and I wasn't keen on it when it was done on the fabric SB choose for it.

Cute little finish! I always admire your finishes - and I know, that small things are often (or almost always) more difficult to finish than big ones
