Another rug, a key cupboard and a plant ladder

After I'd finished the rug for the bedroom last month I also made one as a birthday gift for my friend Kim.
Due to the Brexit, Corona and/or heavy snowfall it took twice as long for the parcel to arrive, but now I can finally show you ;)

Elizabeth Stitch with Venne cotton 34/2, nr. 3039,
nr. 6003 and nr. 6044.

I also made her this key cupboard from Balsa and a little piece of a carved bamboo hand fan.


I cut the top of four needle pins and used three as hooks for the keys and one as a little doorknob. They are painted black with nail varnish. The hinge is just a single staple :)



This is how the rug looked in daylight (a)


Last but not least; I hadn't showed this etagère or plant ladder yet.
I'd seen a tutorial in the Dutch P&M magazine nr. 170 and thought it would make a nice Christmas gift for Kim. 



I imagine she'll use it for plants and other garden related things, so I tried to give it a weathered look :')
It can just as well be used to display other items e.g. in a shop, so I might make another one for my Italian project :)
