And to show you a bit better just how tiny it is...
You probably won't remember back in 2006 when I asked for ideas on something to stitch for my cousin Aldo who was getting married. Then I never mentioned it again! Well, their plans changed. They decided it wouldn't be very practical having their wedding in Scotland, as they have too many family and friends who would have needed to travel from Italy to Scotland, including some older relatives who wouldn't have been able to do it at all. They're now getting married in a medieval village just outside Rome this July instead. :-)
So I got myself organised this weekend (seeings as the wedding is less than 4 months away at this point!) and finally decided what to stitch them. Last week I started a letter from the M Designs Alphabet Series, planning to do the letters of their first initials along with the M Designs Celtic Heart in the middle... I was stitching it on a piece of Newcastle linen with Cherry Waterlilies. Luckily I didn't get TOO far when I realised it just wasn't going to work. I hadn't realised how variegated that colour was and I just don't think it works for this design. I had seen something else stitched with it before and it seemed perfect! Oh well...
So I've scrapped the whole M Designs idea (sorry M Designs, I do love you and will use your letters for something else someday!), and I've now decided on I Thee Wed by Prairie Moon instead.
I think it's really adorable and unusual! I just need to wait for the fabric to start it... it's in stock, so shouldn't take long to get here.

What a sweet finish! It looks great stitched over one.
Love the wedding sampler too - that design caught my eye recently. I shall look forward to your progress :)
Oh yeah, I SO love this design! :D It's going to make a great wedding gift!!
Your LHN is gorgeous!! So lovely over one.
That wedding sampler is just lovely, I'm sure your cousin will love it.
Schoolgirl Lessons looks lovely, how cute it looks with it being over one. Sorry your original idea of the M design letters didn't work out, but I Thee Wed will be a wonderful one for its replacement. Congrats on your earlier finish of another square on your Houses piece, it's moving right along.

Very cute finish, Tina!
Ciao Tina potrei scriverti in inglese ma temo che non mi capiresti, devo ammetterlo, non sono poi così preparata. Mi sono letteralmente persa tra le tue pagine. Per ore, non minuti. Non ci conosciamo ma sono arrivata a te seguendo una serie di link. Ti faccio i miei complimenti, nn solo per i ricami ma anche per la persona che sei. Continua così.
Spero di riuscire a "ritrovare" il tuo blog tra qualche giorno.

Love your new choice for a wedding sampler, probably even more than M designs letter...look forward to seeing it. And your LHN looks great over one.
Sounds like a great plan ... will you be going to the wedding?
Schoolgirl Lessons looks so tiny and cute!!
