I just love making these little boxes. I stitched up a few for
my TDIPT Mercantile listings the other night and thought
I'd post a few pics of them here on my blog.
It's fun picking out a motif to stitch and then coordinating the
paper or fabric to cover the box in.
I like to decorate the undersides of the lids too.
I think it's a nice touch and a bit of a surprise.
Hope your day is filled with little surprises.

Nan, your finishing is lovely! How do you get the cross stitch fabric so smooth? The crow is my favorite...Happy Weekend!
These are wonderful, Nan!
How cute! I just love the Crow one...the colors are great. Love the detail on the inside too.
You are creative and I just love all of your finishes!!!
In answer to some questions.
Tanya, the crow pattern is just a little something I came up with
and
Joy, I iron lightweight fusible web to the back of the samplers before making them into boxes, pinkeeps etc.
It helps keep them smooth and adds a little bit of weight to them.
They are so precious! Would you be willing to share your waxing tips?
Beautiful work! I love it!
Hi Nan:
Super cute boxes....Your cross stitching is beautiful and I specially love how you finished the inside...
Have a great weekend, Nancy
I love these little boxes!
The way you've decorated the inside of the lid makes them even more special.
