Add A Little Perle

I got out my perle and added some hand stitching to my porthole. A circle of running stitch, and then a circle of stem stitch. A dig in my stash produced a precious piece of Just Wing It and I had the backing. I did keep to a simple envelope closure though.


It all came together quickly and easily. And for the first time in ages I got to take photos outside. No artificial yellow light. Seems so odd. But good, oh so good.


I hope the recipient likes it.

    Oh my lordie lordie...I always want to jump into your blog and whisk away your goodies.
    This slice of prettiness is particularly whimsical and wantable.

    this is so lovely, I love the stitching round the outside. Is the blue stitching split stitch?
