Birthday gift for Pirjo - Neulatyyny Pirjolle

Another of my weekend finishes arrived to the new home today. Pirjo (no blog) is also a member of our local stitching group and had her birthday in July. She's also a bobbin lace course teacher, so I wanted to include some bobbin lace I've made into my gift for her. I made her this pincushion, as she does lots of handicrafts and also teaches, so I guess she might have use for a pincushion :)

The flower motif is taken from "En Mai..." chart by Les grilles de Maryse and I stitched it with Pomme de Pin and DMC threads. I took photos while making this, so I will make a tutorial to Violarium's site as soon as I have time :)

Thank you for your lovely comments and e-mails on my stitching, I'm always happy to read them! It's such a joy to know that there are people who enjoy reading my blog :) Until tomorrow, happy stitching!

Toinenkin viikonloppuna valmistunut lahja on löytänyt tiensä uuteen kotiin. Tein tämän neulatyynyn synttärilahjaksi Pirjolle, joka myöskin on oupsilainen :) Pirjo on myös nypläysope ja opettaa muitakin käsitöitä, niin ajattelin että neulatyynylle on aina käyttöä. Nyplättyä pitsiäkin piti tietysti ängetä mukaan :)

Kukkakuvio on Marysen "En Mai..." -mallista. Pistelin sen Pomme de Pinin ja DMC:n langoilla. Otin kuvia tekovaiheessa, niin että teen jossain välissä ohjeen Violariumin sivuille.

Kiitos kommenteista ja sähköposteista mitä olen saanut, ihana tietää että blogia luetaan :) Pistelyniloa tälle illalle!

Again I am way behind in reading blogs. Mandeli looks so happy to be outside. My Alix could just as easily stay inside all the time or outside. She enjoys both. I have never tried to put a harness on any of my cats. It is a good idea so they do not run into the street. I have lost too many to such a tragedy.
I love the St Hippolyte sampler. Such beautiful work. Maybe someday when all of my WIP and UFO are done then I will try this one.
