Well no point putting this in the SAL section, as I've already completed it. So I thought I'd just make a thread in here to show you.
Made this for my eldest son's 'Coffee addict' friend.
I did just make two tiny changes ...
I added the letters to the coffee jar to make it look like it said something as I didn't like the blank label, and the steam is in a blingy, shiny cord.
Anyhow, he likes it.

Thank you all.
Not really my usual sort of thing, but I knew it would be him perfectly!

I'm sure it would be perfect for your office Agi!
It's nice to stitch as well.
Thanks for all the nice comments
. The frame is from a local charity shop, 99p. I love a bargain!

The frame's a great bargain and complements the piece just perfectly!
And I love your personal touches -- what's the bling thread for the steam?
