The Austrian Cross Stitch Project Complete!


Part of my preparations for my trip to Austria was choosing a cross stitch project to do in the anticipated "down time" and to serve as a momento.   The original pattern for the above project didn't include the boarder or the birdhouse, key, masks, armoury, apple, peacock or squirrel... they came later... and were largely designed by me to fit the space they occupy.  They all have a meaning, of course.


Sitting cross-legged on my daughters apartment floor trying to work out how to complete the squirrel.  On my lap is a needle wallet I made a few years ago which I managed to get through security and onto planes :) More about that later.


 Washing in the cat litter tray that was never used for cat litter ;)





 
I originally saw this design for a needle wallet online... printed it out in colour... and, well, copied it. Fortunately my name also starts with the letter "L".




 And the pink Swarovsky crystal was mined and cut in Austria :)
