It is all blossom against the evening sky - the future crop of
mirabelles - the little round yellow plums, first a little sour and
if we leave them hanging long enough - very sweet and juicy.
It is the view out of our room where the piano is standing.
If you are maybe following Jude Hill's blog you will recognize
her "beans". It was an "aha-moment" for me - (thank you Jude, for
this idea). I am slowly filling in spaces with left-over bits of thread...
.... in a colour matching the ajoining squares.
I found a little embroidery in one of my boxes and thought it
would just fit in. I stitched buttonholes around it and laced it
with the same red cotton a broder. I added two buttonhole lace points
in white. Sorry the tips were cut off by my photographer, ha!
I need a little give-away next week when our grammar school class
will meet for lunch in my home-town Stuttgart. So I used again
(how many times already) the tutorial of noodlehead to create
this pouch. It is my favorite tutorial.
I will fill in chocolates!
Your work is always jam packed with inspiration, and your friends will love the chocolate packed pouches!
