for my little sister

Do you remember? A few months back I told you about a stitching project that was going to be a present for my little sister. I intended to send the gift by mail a long time ago, but never managed. During our holidays in Germany I finally presented my sister with her stitched gift. 
Now, I have to say my little sister isn't too found of my cross stitching obsession. I am fine with that, people have different hobbies and my sister's taste is very different from mine.
But when I saw this design by Emily Peacock in one of the Cross Stitcher magazines, I knew I had to stitch it for her. And to make it useful I finished it into a little pouch, that she could use for her knick-knack.
I love the way how fabric, ribbon and stitching fits together. And also my sister loves it very much.
