Signs of Winter
Seems like every blogger is showing photos of early snowfalls this year. It's cold here, but we haven't seen the first flakes quite yet. So this altoid tin top I stitched will serve to keep us on the lookout. This a Bent Creek design, one of the four for each of the seasons. Not sure if I love it in the over-one stitching on the tea-dyed Monaco or not. But I know I like the crocheted penguin inside. This one is just tailor made to be another winter survival kit with some Burt's Bees goodies added to fight the winter dryness.
I like the outside & the inside Annie :) Great job!
ReplyDeleteCute finish!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could just pack up the snow outside and ship it to you! (But knowing Canada Post it'd probably get there in August!)
Annie, I love your tin box ! it is such a pretty pattern !! Well , in Paris we had snow fall today !( not enough to make a snowman !! )it seems that winter came very early this year..
ReplyDeleteIt is very cute! Very nice stitched over one. I can appreciate the time it took to stitch.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet! It looks wonderful over one - such a cute gift idea!

Adorable tin finish! I think it's fabulous over-1 and love the penguin inside :) And that is a really terrific idea of using it as a winter survival kit with BBee's goodies (I may have to copy that idea if you don't mind!)
ReplyDeleteThe inside and outside are a perfect compliment to each other. It's only been the penguins in the zoos here that have really enjoyed this weather
ReplyDeleteBoth inside and outside of this tin are so cute. Always love the way you "decorate" the inside of all those tin boxes that you've make. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! Perfect for a survival kit! Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteOh Annie, what's not to love? Your little tin is adorable! I love the design over one! Great job putting it all together.
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo CUTE!! Great job.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. I love how you decorate each box inside and out.
ReplyDeleteLove what you've done with that little tin! You're not thinking of us Down Under when you state that every blogger is writing about snowfalls...our summer has started, but it's not about sunshine, it's rain, rain and more rain!
ReplyDeletePersonally I think the stitching is absolutely perfect - I really love everything about it! :D
