I started with the back stitch as the crosses were quite far apart and I was bound to make mistakes galore. I used some lovely rustic evenweave.
It progressed really quickly and I enjoyed every stitch - probably because it wasn't a WIP or a project I'd promised to do for someone, or something for sale.
Pretty, if I do say so myself! I ignored the key to the project and just used the threads I had to hand.
I tried to use a blending filament with the pink and blue threads, but as I was already using 4 strands (I wanted to get a really chunky feel to the flowers), the addition of the filament was just too much. A few knots later and I gave up.
It will become a lavender sachet at some point. For the time being, it's joined the WIP mountain.

I love it! And I feel your pain on the blending filament. Wow you used even weave too - you are brave! I can't see it well enough to use. I've passed up beautiful kits b/c of even weave.
Love the blue and pink together, reminds me of forget-me- nots.

Very pretty indeed.
I love it Wendy, and I love that you did own your own colours - very, very pretty!
You're not alone either, in the "starting something new rather than finishing something old" department either.... I'm right there with you!
i have a finish pile that are not actually finished too, but something so simple looks really effective, well done!
That is really lovely!
HAHA that's pretty - it'll be a lovely sachet :)
oh, so dainty and lovely!
Adorable !
Bonne semaine.
