I'm happy to report I finished the cross stitching on Homespun Still Life last night.
As you can see, I changed the color of the towels from red to blue. All I have left now is the backstitching which I plan to start on tonight.
My brother was in town last week so we hit up the estate sales and thrift stores in the area. I was in search of some 80s decor and did manage to find one shelf similar to the one I'm stitching. He brought me a tall four cubby shelf that I think could be turned into a vegetable bin if I can convince him to make some doors for me, similar to these with the wire...
Aida thinks it would make excellent storage for her collection of toys!

Thanks for showing your work, I like the change to blue on the towels. I have an old Leisure Arts leaflet that must be by the same designer. I think it is called "A Country Kitchen Sampler" and has lots of nicely done kitchen items similar to your piece. Let me know if you are interested in it and I will see if I can find it and make you a copy. -sandy from Kentucky.
Your shelf piece looks super. I like the blue towels. I agree with Aida about storage for her toys!
