30ct iced cappuccino linen from R&amp;R, and Wild Berries thread from Crescent Colours. A tiny strawberry fob was charted in the same leaflet and it&#39;s
almost finished, but not quite yet <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/smile.gif" alt="image">. Thanks for looking!
