I'm not quite sure but I think I only made one card and one birthday gift back in the winter season. Remember the sneak peak I gave you guys back in September? Well sure you do, it's right below this post. Anyhow, I told you my mum "specifically requested that I'd make the stitching for her birthday" - tomorrow's her birthday. I was able to finish the work after I got back home from my travels, but framing was something that I didn't do until today. Well actually, I'm going to let the professionals take care of the framing, I just stretched the fabric over a framework I had at home.
So without further due, here's the pretty little thing!
All the pictures are a wee bit darker than I'd want them to be, I kinda ran out of sunlight (and you know how I feel about yellow light...) but it's alright! IT'S FINISHED. And it took only like what, a year? :D Thank goodness the actual stitching part didn't take that long.
The framework
Grass was designed beautifully in this stitch work. I just really like the subtle way it changes colour!
The white dots and hearts on the flower pots were made out of white satin thread, it looks really nice in reality.
Working with satin threads was fun, and I really like the outcome, they just aren't the easiest threads to use and I'm actually glad there weren't too many areas that needed them. They kind of tend to fall apart, you know?
Well anyhow, hope you enjoyed the pictures! I'll show you one more picture once the professionals have created frames for this.

Koetan kirjoittaa mahdollisimman paljon myös suomeksi, tällä hetkellä vaan tuntuu jotenkin siltä että tekstiä tulee helpommin englanniksi... Viime aikoina on ollut vähän sellainen fiilis että sitä suomea voisi kirjoitella useamminkin, kun tuntuu että sanat on hukassa vähän väliä. Täällähän sitä saisi kirjoitella vaikka kuinka! Joten yritän pitäytyä lupauksessani pitää tämän blogin kaksikielisenä..
