A Friday Finish ~ Cappuccino

I just put the last few stitches in Cappuccino by Little House Needleworks, so I can officially declare a Friday Finish :)

This was my first time stitching with silks, and I really enjoyed it. I stitched the design on 28 count fabric (the 32 count which was recommended is too difficult for me to see), but I was fortunate that there was enough floss included that I was able to stitch the design using two strands.

I plan on hanging this and some other coffee and tea themed designs on a narrow wall in the kitchen (which is currently empty). There's a cart there that holds our coffee-espresso maker, as well as other beverage items.

This is really cute Joanne! I can already picture all these items on your narrow wall and am happy as I have a little something here to send you with your old~fashioned letter swap I still owe you that will fit right in! Sorry I am so late with your letter.
