Something new....

....  to show to you. I have started stitching a new design last Saturday. The chart is stitched in only one colour. The original designs suggest bright red, but I've decided to give this piece a more elegant look by stitching with DMC ecru on tea-dyed evenweave. Stitching one over one, the design is quite small and I am thinking of mounting it into the lid of a box.
The chart is kind of a freebie from the site Cross Stitchers Club. The site requires sign up for downloading charts, but the sign up is free. This is already the second design I am stitching from this page and I have a long list with To-Dos in my bookmark bar. Most of the designs are really cute, but I love especially all the mono-colour designs.

Love the monochromatic. It looks very delicate done that way.
