Nice busy weekend… I finished the little bag we
started during the Featherweight Day at Bep’s, I showed it before on Facebook
but not here yet. This weekend I decided to make a second one, it is such a
cute project. Of course, after practising on the first one, the second one
turned out a bit better.
One thing the second one does not have is the sweet
Featherweight button Bep gave us with this project.
I also finished the cross stitch part of my first
cross stitch project, a pincushion from Atelier Soed Idee. A “thank you” to
Irma from my bee, who helped me get started on this project, I had not cross
stitched since I was a teenager, a looooong time ago, so forgot about the ins
and outs of this craft. I did change two things in the pattern: I did not leave
a loose thread hanging from the spool and I did not stitch the little boot next
to my initials. I stitched a little star pattern instead, if you look closely
you’ll see I took the star pattern from the centre of the pair of scissors and
stitched it in reverse.
Most of the above was done on Sunday, on Saturday I
visited the Summer Market at The Stitch Cottage in The Hague.
The weather gods were benevolent, even though we once
again woke up to the sound of heavy rain, after that it turned out to be a dry
day, even the sun came out in the afternoon.
The market stalls outside …. yesss…. in the sunshine!
Bobbin by Els Feteris, always lovely!
Nice and busy inside.
That was my weekend, well, some of it.
Hope you had a nice weekend too,
