This picture absolutely doesn't do it justice. The gold on it just gleams and I doubt you can tell that the flowers are raised. She made a lovely little emery strawberry too - I've never owned such a thing and can hardly wait to sharpen all my dull needles. My imagination has gone into overtime - I'm thinking of the possible history of this mug - perhaps it was used by a ladies maid to serve hot chocolate to her mistress?
Thank you Deb - you already know how much I love it!!

And, here's the latest stitching on my hussif...
Oh my friend, I am delighted you like the pincushion. The cup's history would be interesting to know. It was too pretty to not to be used for something. Now it begins a new life on your worktable. I hope it brings a smile to your face and the thought of our friendship, whenever you see it.
