Last minute Gift------ Plastic Canvas watermelon coasters

This set of plastic canvas watermelon coasters was a gift to a couple, I finished them on last Saturday and sent out on the very same day. I think I'm really a last minute person, no more how early I start, things always end up being finished at the last minute.

This color is a bit off due to the light, there is no way to photo again. :)

Put them together.

I made some mistake when cutting canvas, so here comes these two. Can you tell where are the mistakes? I put extra stitches on to make up where I cut off wrong.

That's the real color. :)

Here are the mistakes. I cut off one gird more.

The pattern is a freebie in Uniek Inc.'s website. Littledeer, a nice friend I met on internet, found and shared it with me.

Winter

Winter here is long, almost half the year, white and cold, at the same time, fun and beautiful. I can't tell how I feel about it. Sometimes I love it, but sometimes I hate it. You wonder why people hate winter? Yes! they were cars parking on road. And you wonder why people love winter? You wonder why people hate snow? It was our driveway after a snow storm. Our Kitchen door And you wonder why people love snow? The last rose in my back yard, it was beautiful, isn't it?
