The perfect solution for insomnia

The perfect solution for my insomnia last night! Do up my round tin. What better way to spend the time than tossing and turning in bed or staring at the four walls or counting sheep :-)


Had no sample to guide me but I've always believed in midnight inspiration! I'm actually quite pleased with how the tin turned out, considering the condition of the stitched piece which I showed you all in the previous post. But LTC (loving tender care) seems to work :-) The tin I used was also quite old and unsightly but at one o'clock in the morning, beggars can't be choosers!








A closer look to prove my point...

Sorry, the inside is out of bounds for now (LOL) But if insomnia strikes again, I'll post that, first thing I finish :-)

Second Chance

This piece of cross-stitch has been lying around for quite a while. The Christmas design was adapted from a cross-stitch magazine and I had been meaning to do up a round tin. I guess I lost interest when the words didn't quite turn out straight. Maybe this weekend, I should give it a second chance? But first, a loving wash and some gentle pressing.....
