On The Shelf

Such a lovely sunny day to be cleaning kitchen cupboards but at least my shelf trims dried in about four minutes hanging in the sun and here are most of them:

I made these about ten years ago  inspired by a cross stitch design seen in a magazine.


I believe I tea dyed the fabric but that colour has long washed out.



The tiny designs are dotted with beads,


not always in very realistic colours.


I also made a small crochet border.



Here´s a view of one of my kitchen cupboards.


See you next week.  Thank you for passing by.

  3. So lovely to see these every day when you use your cupboards, Sheryl. The inspiration photo looks like the work of Marjolein Bastin.

    I haven't been posting much due to computer problems and health concerns, but when I get the computer to turn on for a few glorious hours, I enjoy seeing what everyone has been up to. It is so nice to see your work. Beautiful and inspiring!

  9. Oh my, Sheryl, these kitchen shelf trims are so pretty, and so beautifully embellished with the crocheted edge. And these coffee cups and coffeepot are looking so great. Very similar to the ones that can be found in Brittany in France. Very beautiful.

  13. Your shelf trims are all so lovely! They must have taken hours to make but they've certainly stood the test of time well.
