Summer in Winter Stitching

You may recall that my second 'forgotten embroidery' was a little beach scene that I had hooped up ready for stitching.  Well, the stitching is complete and my little beach embroidery is all ready to be pressed and framed.

When out shopping (for Christmas!!) the other day, as well as suitable presents, I was also on the look out for a frame for my embroidery.  I want to hang it in my shower room which has a collection of other 'beach'-type related decorations.  Such as these quirky sea birds and some cute little wooden beach huts which were the original inspiration for my embroidery.

However, I was unable to find a square frame and ended up buying this rectangular one instead.  

I have a plan to change the shape of my finished embroidery by embellishing it.  This is what I am thinking of using and there may be one or two buttons added too.

I'll let you know how I get on!!
