August Biscornu

Here are my August biscornu for my two basket of biscornu projects. Four out of twenty-four completed! :D

The one for my basket is a freebie from Krissy Cross designs. I stitched it on 35ct linen from HDF and used HDF silks from my detritus bags. I love using bits of this and that to complete a project. Feels thrifty... but it's silk! And linen! I tried to find a nice bee button for the centre but didn't have any luck. Still, very pleased with the finish.

Once again I used a Faby Reilly freebie for the boys biscornu. This one is the Back to School biscornu. Stitched on 18ct white aida using the charted DMC floss. The centre button is a little pencil sharpener that I found in the scrapbooking section of my local dollar store. My eldest, who just started grade 1, was very pleased with it. :)

Thanks for looking!
