At last a finished box!

Here are the detached petals being worked the wire couched down, the wire with the buttonhole stitch, and finally a petal with the long and short stitch worked
All the detached petals ready to be cut away from the base fabric

The "detached" elements now attached.



The final box! I somehow think I should "frame" the water lily somehow. The lid is padded and I am contemplating some gold foiling around it---------does anyone else have a opinion?
Christmas preparations go on apace and we now have some decorations up, the Tree will go up on Friday. We watched Nigella's Christmas Kitchen last evening-------how she stays so un flappable is beyond me but it makes great entertainment!
