Blue and White Cross Stitch and some creating at Kainga."
Hello,
Surprise surprise I have started another cross stitch. This one is from the book called Cross-Stitch Samplers by Marjorie Massey.
I am using DMC 312 to stitch this, just started the second skein of thread.
On the weekend we put up this old door that my Mum had and she didn't want. This door is very very old. We had to pull some nails out of it as we had to do a bit of re-constructive surgery down the bottom and we found that the nails were made by hand. The door knob is a insulator thing that are on the electricity poles. We found this in the load of wood we purchased recently. Just perfect for the door knob as it came with the screw already for us to put on.
This is the other side, so much character on this door.
Bonnie made this stool at school many years ago in Woodwork class. It has been in the shed not being used. So yesterday I got to it with a coat of "Gilly Stephenson's dark restoring and new timber polish. It now matches in perfectly with our other furniture. It was plain pine before.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the week, can't believe it will soon be May.
Happy days.
Bev.

That door adds so much character to the path entry. Well done! :)
The blue cross stitch is going to be lovely. I love the door you've added to the path and it's great that you can give Bonnie's stool another lease of life.
that door looks fantastic in the garden Bev and what a lovely stool.xx
Hello Bev, your stitch looks very Dutch I love the beautiful blue color. Over here it's Queensdag today it is the last time today we had a Queen. This day we had a change and than we had a King, it is a very special day today. The Queen did this job for I think 33 year and now her son is doing the job. Maybe you can see something at the television today over it. We had beautiful weather today but is is still very cold. And I love your old door it looks so lovely, I like that style.
I wish you a nice day, we had a small holiday the kids have now school and we are very busy with the backyard. The kids are old enough to help us a bit so nice to see . When we are ready I show the pictures at my blog and you can see what we had change.
Greetings Petra.

Hello Bev, your blue cross stitch looks lovely - I do love the sampler designs & they look great framed together on a wall. Gosh your old door is a great find also - it has loads of character :-) Happy week Bev, Julie
Love the blue on white in the stitching. Always has a fresh feel with those colours.
Good to see all the repurposing going on, too.
That sampler is to die for! Love blue and white in linens and dishware! The door looks wonderful!
