CROSS STITCH DOLLHOUSE KIT

I've been a bad bad blogger with no posts in a very long time. But real life has kept me extremely busy so there has been no time to record anything here. Thanks to a very nice customer that has become a dear friend I have this new project that is taking a bit of my time in the evenings now. These pictures represent a few hours of work but there is so many hours left! It's so relaxing to work on this new piece. I think it's going to be beautiful. I have the prefect place to display it once it's finished. In my dining room near my dollhouse. I think it would look nice hanging in my granddaughters room too so we'll see once I really do get it finished where it might end up. I think that's quite a long time from now!


Don't forget to poke the picture twice to make it larger so you can see the picture of the dollhouse better. This kit is absolutely amazing. It's made by Pako. The quality is wonderful. The threads come all seperated for you and hanging on a neat little hanger. I'm so excited to have this to work on. I've admired it for a long time but it just wasn't something that I could splurge on for myself. I was reduced to tears when a wonderful friend said she had purchased it for me as a gift and it was on it's way to me from the UK. What a sweet thing for her to do. Thank you C!

  1. I think it's a wonderful gift- I've always admired this kit too but I know if I had it I would never finish it- I'm not so good at cross stitch:) I hope you post more progress pictures as you go along- I love to see your work :)

  2. I remember trying to cross stitch about... 15 years ago. I just didn't have the talent or patience.
    Yours is amazing and it's going to be so beautiful when you are finished!
    What a wonderful friend you have... very thoughtful and generous. :)
