Summer House

I received a lovely email from Irmeli (no blog), to say that the summer House exchange I stitched for her had arrived safe and sound and that, thankfully, she loves it. Here it is.
The house is from a freebie design by Maryse, the tree is from a freebie design by The Drawn Thread and the rest of the piece was designed by me. The floss is a mixture of DMC and Crescent Colours and the fabric is 32ct Summer Breeze from Silkweavers. Finished as a pinkeep using some blue pearlescent pins and some ivory ribbon.
I love the little blackbird keeping watch over the house and garden.

It is certainly not this sunny in my garden at the moment!
Rain, rain, go away!
Have a great week,
Sadie x
