A random act of kindness for Andrea


Hi everyone, I hope you are all fine and happy. 

I have recently finished this random act of kindness for Andrea over at The Craft Room blog here  .
Andrea sent me a RAK last year, it was a beautiful pinkeep made in blue and trimmed in gorgeous ribbon. I was so thrilled with such a lovely gift, ever since that day I have always intended to make Andrea a surprise gift too- well here it is!

I designed the box and made it in pink because I knew Andrea liked this colour combination and also liked boxes. I made the little bottle cap pincushion to match, it is trimmed with swarovski crystals - of course!

There are more photos below.
You can see Andreas rak to me(click here,) just scroll down the page.

    Absolutely gorgeous Lynn. Love the little bottle cap thingy. Your finishing is always so perfect. I need lessons or something. Hope the builders aren't driving you too mad and that you can stitch a little.
    Lots of Love

    Lynn everything you stitch is so beautiful and really worth waiting for. What a true RAK made from the heart. So much time and care has gone into it. The box is amazing and such a wonderful place to store little treasures. No wonder Andrea is thrilled.

    You may be out of sight but you're not out of mind :>)
    Looking forward to when things quieten down for you both in the house and out :>)
    Warm wishes Angela xx

    Gorgeous, Lynn. I have a question ~ can you tell me how to best adhere a small flat piece of aida cloth to a piece of cardstock as a bookmark? I'm using scraps and adding monograms to them, going to fray the edges, but need to know what type of glue to use.

    Big TX Hugs,
