Here are some great finishing instructions and ideas from The Twisted Stitcher - including a bell pull. One day I intend to use these myself :D !

I've been eyeing that design :-) -- it looks great stitched up!

As for finishing, I'm almost sure I've seen a tiny little cupboard for keys where you could mount your stitching in the door panel -- wouldn't that be perfect? I'll see if I can find it anywhere.

Like this, only I don't know if you could replace the embroidery with your own; and you'd have to find the right shape of course; but perhaps as an idea?

here are a few used for decoupage and so on:

Thanks for those links Mabel. That looks like a fun idea, and I'm pretty sure I've actually got that key box in the middle link somewhere. I bought it years ago meaning to stamp on it. Just need to remember where I've stashed it :)

I've just started another small WIP so I thought I'd put it in this thread. I'm doing it inbetween Cottages & TGE so although it's only a quick stitch, it might take a few months. I couldn't resist starting it though. I've had the chart for a while and I keep seeing it and every time I did, I wanted to get stitching.

It's the cast of Firefly in the style of Pixel People by Wee Little Stitches. So far I've done three of the characters and I love that you can really tell who they are. (if you're a Firefly fan, of course...)

Thanks for looking :)

I don't know the characters though I am sure tons of people will. But I still think these are really cute figures and you have done a great job. :applesauce:

I noticed this on your sig earlier today and thought I can't wait to see that one! I love the Wee Little Stitches designs and am a huge Firefly fan ( or should that read Nathan Fillion :wub: ) look forward to seeing the other characters!
