The alphabet is a Sajou free alphabet, from album no. 107. Stitched 1 over 2 on 40ct Fawn Lakeside Linen with Crescent Colours Vanilla Pudding Belle Soie Silk. The twisted cord was made with DMC 712, Perle Cotton No. 12. What I thought would be a quick little project actually took me a lot longer to put together then I thought! Apart from the two long seams for the lining it was all stitched together by hand - even the opening was too small for me to machine stitch the casing for the cord drawstrings, so that also had to be done by hand! I love the Vanilla Pudding on the Fawn Linen and will be using them both together again for something for me...lol!
I hope to be back again soon with another finish I have from my finishing box! It will probably be the last one for a little while as Colin is due home on the 28th. He will have been away for a couple of months so I'm getting very excited and can't wait for him to be home! He will only be home for nine days though, before he's off again for what may be another couple of months! We video Skype most days, which is brilliant - it's free and I get to see him too!
Have a lovely weekend and as always thank you so much for visiting! :o)

Wonderful gift for your mom~ Perfect for keeping treasures~
the pouch is lovely! I'm sure your mother will be tickled pink!
That is so pretty Carol. So beautifully stitched and finished.
Love your little bag your mother will be thrilled with it. Thank you for sharing where the alphabet came from, I have made a note of it.
Really cute Carol - I love the color combination - must write it down as I like the softness of it - I can imagine some good uses for all those French style charts in these colors.
Pretty little purse Carol - I'm sure you mum will love it!
Thats really pretty - I am sure she will adore it. Michelle x
Happy Birthday to Mum, a beautiful little bag for her, i agree the Vanilla Pudding thread looks fabulous on the linen.

Thank you for my gorgeous bag Carol it is so beautifully made.
You must be very patient to do all that hand sewing.
I will find something special to keep in it.

Lovely! I also enjoy that colour combo; it's so pretty and I can see why you have more plans for it. The finishing on this is just beautiful!

A lovely gift! I love the vanilla pudding on fawn and natural too, its a graceful colour
Your stitching is just beautiful. :o)
I was curious if it was difficult to read the pattern of the letters on line? It is a bit fuzzy for me, and wondered if it was difficult for you to stitching?
I would love to find a lovely alphabet to stitch. :o)
Sincerely - Trish
