Peacock Sewing Box





Designer: Blackbird Designs
Design Size: 6 x 6
Fabric: 28ct. Gingham
Fibers: Nina's Threads & GAST
Date Started:4-8-11
Date Finished: 4-10-11

This was such fun to stitch! I wanted another sewing box and chose the main part of the Peacock Pinkeep from BBD. I just love the colors and the peacock rocks!! I decided to go with a flat black finish on the box and I love how it looks with the colors in the design. I lined it with a green/red fabric and added a green gingham ribbon with a button and chenille trim and red pins for decoration.

Please remember my mom in your prayers as we learn tomorrow what the mass on her kidney is-my stress level is OFF the charts !!!!
And to those special friends that have been so good to me lately-though you may not realize it as I am not online much to say how much I appreciate it-I TRULY have appreciated each and every email and cards you have sent-they have really been a comfort to me AND my family-I cannot ever thank you enough-we still have a very difficult time ahead with our loved ones especially FIL)-we have had many DARK days recently-some of the saddest news you can ever hear and some of the most painful tests and evaluations one can endure... we have cried and our hearts have ached but as a family we have comforted each other and we deal with each day as it comes and are thankful to have each new day with my FIL-I just wish his pain was not as much as it is :( :( :( Please continue to remember my FIL and my grandmother in prayer as well. Thank you friends!

Thank you all for stopping by. Sharing my stitching is one thing I look so forward to and it lifts my spirits much more than you may realize.
Love and hugs from SC,
BeckySC

Dear Becky!
I look for a long time your works and they very much are pleasant to me. This box remarkable, and an embroidery very stylish.
I pray for your family, during this heavy time for you. Some years ago I have lost the small son and have taken out the main experience in my life: it is necessary to trust and struggle up to the end and never to lose courage!
I embrace all of you,Elena
Sorry for bad English.
