Here they are on my mini dresser.
Close up
and whilst they are OK I think they should have had a brighter sheen to them as the photos that were downloaded were nice and clear and bright. So a bit of a disappointment really.
Anyway I did manage to finish off this little cross stitch sampler this week.
At last the flowers are starting to pop up. Nikki takes a keen interest in the garden, after all there are bees and butterflies to chase, passing cars and bikes to bark at, bits of unkown yuk to nibble on. Here she is having a rest inbetween activities.
But she would like to remind you to take the time to slow down and smell the flowers!

Sorry that you are a bit disappointed with the mugs but I think they look great. Your sampler is also lovely - what a lot of work!I hope it will get pride of place somewhere!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cross stitch project - I just love samplers - they are such fun to stitch - a collection of different motifs and you dont get bored with them :)
ReplyDeletethe mugs are nice. great idea to transfer the houses on cupes. perfect for house-loving ladies :)
The mugs look ok seeing them on my screen so it's a shame they are not quite what you wanted them to be. Nice work on the sampler!
ReplyDeleteYour cross stitch sampler is so nice. Love the last photo. Such a cute dog.
ReplyDeleteThe sampler is lovely. I like the idea of your houses on the mugs - shame the quality isn't what you'd hoped for. Love the dog pics!
ReplyDeleteThe mugs and sampler are pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe mugs look gorgeous, as does your dresser! It's always easy to be a bit nit-picky about your own work when other people often love it. Your sampler is lovely too x
ReplyDeleteYour sampler is beautiful. I've not see the original photos to compare your mugs with, but as they are they're lovely.
ReplyDeleteI like the picture with Nikki sniffing the tuliptoo.
