Bunting and Flags

This weeks theme over at
is...
Bunting and Flags...
(Oh, I do LOVE a bit of Bunting!!)
-oOo-
Well I was supposed to be repurposing/painting an old shelf unit in the garden yesterday....but rain stopped play...( it was torrential here in my part of Essex!!)
-oOo-
So... inside I went, grabbed some fabric, lace, buttons, fabric clothing tag, crown charm, crochet flowers and a vintage baby image printed on to some fabric....
 
and hand-stitched up this little creation for this weeks Tag Tuesday theme...
 I'm a little 'union jacked' out ....it's everywhere you look at the moment, with the forthcoming Jubilee celebrations....red, white and blue in every nook and cranny!!
So... I decided to change it up a little and went a little pink and aqua for my flag!
Thanks for peeking!

That is SO sweet Jan. Love the colours and the image of the baby is gorgous. Nice change, as you say, from the red, white and blue.... it works really well.
