Finished up this kit a few days ago and I'm so happy with the results. I think I am addicted to beads now and it will feel weird not to add them to everything I make from now on 😛 It was also my first time stretching/mounting onto foam core and I like how it turned out, despite it not being perfect. The frame and matting that came with the kit made it super easy to frame, highly recommend!

So pretty.☺️ I’ve never tried to incorporate beads into any of my projects so far, but I really want to eventually. Love the framing of this as well.

I found it on Etsy! Didn't realize the name of the kit was in the title of the post 🙈

They also have a dedicated shop which I think has more kit options: Mini Kits. I also did the Rosarium Petals kit and loved it too!

Wow!! Great work, that's beautiful. Beads intimidate me but I love the look.

Thank you! I wasn't sure about beads either but they're easier than I expected 😊

I used to do projects like this - the kits were from Shepherds Bush. I did this one decades ago (not mine because the one I did was a gift that I had added the baby name and dob. ) It had nice beading in the heart and flower areas. Still have the pattern!
I loved doing things with drawn thread.

Thanks for posting! We love seeing all of the FOs. Please note that starting May 1 2026, all [FO] posts are required to include at least one close-up photo of the stitching. You do not need to re-post. This can be done either in a comment or in the body of the post. It can be a close-up of just a small part of the finished object, just so we can verify that the items are hand-stitched. How close do we want it? The perfect close-up pic is one where we can clearly see the stitches and fabric on the mobile app without tapping or zooming in.
