I’m slow at sharing these little beach huts, which I started knitting last summer. The knitting part was finished in good time, but the construction took a little longer. Mr Candytuft kindly built the framework (from cardboard) and I eventually found time to sew them together.
In looking at these photos, I just noticed that I forgot to stitch the buttons on for the door handles.
There is still no sign of summer here - spring is only just getting underway. The grass is now green, but the trees remain leafless.
It may be a few weeks before it is warm enough for a trip to the beach. These little beach huts are filled with pearl barley for weight, as I intend to use them as door-stops, once it is warm enough to have the windows wide open.
So sweet ... I love your colours. They will make perfect door stops to hold open your windows on those balmy summer days that have been specially earmarked for Candytuft Corner. xox
ReplyDeleteOh, I do hope that there are some balmy summer days heading our way - it is still so cold! Marie x
DeleteVERY, very cute these are, Marie! Spring has been very slow to unfold here, and we're only now just having a touch of warmth...beach days seem far off yet... LOL! Happy Spring, my friend ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteBeach days do seem a long way off. We were just saying this morning, that it isn’t long until the summer solstice, yet it doesn’t even feel like spring has got underway. Marie x
