Handmade gifts & a few cross stitch charts

by Cards_by_Paula ^Pro @ Wednesday, 15. Jul, 2009 – 08:32:27

Before I go away on holiday I'd like to share with you a couple of small gifts I made for my lovely 2-year old niece Mariana.

I made her the crochet bag and also the cute cross stitched pictures you see below. The picture "frames" are made of felt and were cut with the help of my Sizzix BigShot. Overall, I'm really please with the results and I hope she likes them too.

Below you'll find not only the charts I used to cross stitch the little house and flower but also a few others you can use. I'll be away until July 31st so no posts until then.

  Thank you Moni :-)
  
  I make up all my crochet projects as I go along so I don't have a tutorial but you can make a chain any length you want and then work in the roung making increases until you get a base the size you want, then just work your rows without any further increases to get the desired height for the bag.
