Beautiful Floss Tag from Berit

I received the most beautiful floss tag from Berit today!!!
Berit also sent me a luxury nail & cuticle therapy cream-La Source (among one my favourite scent) from Crabtree and Evelyn.

Here are some pictures to share:

The whole package

She chose to stitch this beautiful chart from my favourite designer-Prairie Schooler

(Book No:115 "Pins & Needles")
She even stitched my name one the sewing machine! Reverse View Look...she really did a wonderful job in this!

Thank you so much Berit, for stitching me an awesome piece of work. I not only like it, but I LOVE IT!!!! I love your handwriting too, Berit :)

PS: Berit was so concerned that the gift might reach me too late, thus she spent almost US$13 for the postage…oh dear Berit…I feel really heartache for that. Even if it is gonna be late, it is a gift totally worth waiting for. Thanks once again (^_^)

Floss Ring Tag Exchange for Audronė

I am really glad to know that Audronė finally received the floss tag that I have sent to her in since early June.

Floss ring tag is my first exchange that I have participated in the Tiny Treasure Exchange blog. I have received one of this tag from Amy in SBEBB exchange, but have never did one on my own before. This is the first time I am finishing the stitched piece to a floss tag and to “create” an eyelet on it, not very successful in doing the eyelet, but the overall is pretty good…lol

I saw from Audronė’s blog that she likes yellow pansies, and managed to find one suitable little pansy to stitch. I have change it to a yellow one instead of the original purple pansy. The full chart consists of both colours. The design was part of a bigger chart in Leisure Art – Floral Minis.

Reverse view:

I used DMC floss stitched on Silkweaver 28 count Jazlyn Coffee colour. I added some clear beads for the dewdrops…

This is the whole exchange that I have sent, together with a postcard from Singapore.

I love making this little tag. I am gonna make more of them. >(^_^)<

PS Round 2 exchange received from Anna

Look at this beautiful pillow stitched by Anna! It is mine now... :)

A closer look at her beautiful stitches-->


Anna told me that she has so much fun in mixing the overdyes floss. She did a wonderful job. The pillow looks so colourful and pretty!

Thank you so much, Anna. I know it is hard to part this awesome piece, but not to worry, I will definitely treasure it (^_^)

Btw, this chart is from PS book 49 - Garden Verses (designed by Pamela Byrd Brunke). It was part of the 3 designs in the leaflet.
