The Wisteria House

Another happy dance~ Well, I actually cheated on this one, since I’ve started it back in 2009 and got all the stitching done, but was intimidated by the assembling. So it waited this many years before seeing the light again, and I finally have the courage to put them together. It is not perfect, but I am happy with the result!!

I love purple, and I love Wisteria, so if this house is real, I would be living in it!!!! Still thinking if I want to stitch a ribbon on top. With the lavender sachet inside, it sure smells wonderful~

This is a really wonderful book, with so many interesting 3D projects inside. Who knows, I might be bold enough to start another one someday~
