Flosstube: Ornamentations #49 - Finishes and a kit release!

Ornamentations (noun): 2. That in which the process of ornamenting is embodied; the ornaments which adorn a thing collectively; ornament in general
Or, in music, the grace notes that embellish a melodic line.

The kits for Big Blue House pinkeep drum are available at katie-strachan.com/shop
Kits are $82 and include the linen, all threads used, and the beads for embellishing the strawberry, but do not include the chart or the ribbon shown on my piece.
Information on finishing (including a template) and sourcing of ribbon is provided with your kit materials
Preorders for Big Blue House will close on Wednesday, June 21 at 9pm PDT, after which the kit will be permanently retired and the conversion will not be shared.

I also showed Scattered Seed Samplers' Gathering Together Pinkeep chart as another possible use for the threads in the Big Blue House conversion, which I would stitch on 38 count Legacy Linen Wayfarer's Cloak

My fabulous beaded fob was a kit from Fern Ridge Collections (Herman the Hedgehog) and their beading kits can be ordered from any LNS - the Attic had a large variety in stock when I was there in April
