Curly-locks! Curly-locks! Wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash dishes, nor yet feed the swine;
But sit on a cushion, and sew a fine seam,
and feed upon strawberries, sugar and cream!

did you sing this as a child ? I have had a lovely time sewing strawberries not eating them with sugar and cream. Stitching friends challenge this time was to make an embroidered strawberry, just one but as you can see I got carried away and I still have a couple to finish. Some of these ones have been made in toning's to suit the person who received them, hence the black and silver one. Mine is the soft mauve so I can tuck it in with my violet needlework accessories. The challenge on is on the bottom left picture and bottom right is the one I sent to Annette in America. These are very easy to make and rather delightful to use as a small pin cushion.

Those are so perfect and fit right into strawberry season here! Beautiful work as always.
I hadn't heard or seen that rhyme in many years. Seems like a great subject for a cross stitch pattern!
They are gorgeous!
