Lakeside Cottage in Spring

A quiet stone cottage sits at the water's edge, its terracotta roof warmed by spring light. Cherry blossoms drift over the path, a weeping willow leans toward the lake, and a single white swan glides across the still water. It is the kind of scene that rewards slow, steady work — bead by bead, until the whole garden comes to life under your hands.

This full-coverage kit uses square drills, which sit edge to edge for a crisp, mosaic finish with no gaps in the canvas. A satisfying choice for makers who enjoy the clean, tiled look when the piece is done.

What's in the kit

• Pre-printed, pre-glued 40 × 50 cm canvas (approx. 16 × 20 in), sealed with a protective film and marked with a clear colour-coded symbol chart
• Full set of vibrant, colour-sorted square drills, with a few extra of each shade
• Drill pen, sorting tray, and wax caddy
• Numbered colour legend matched to the symbols on the canvas

Details

• Finished size: 40 × 50 cm / 16 × 20 in

A few notes for a smooth finish

Peel the film back a section at a time rather than all at once, so the adhesive stays tacky while you work. Press finished areas under a clean book to settle the drills, and keep the colour legend nearby — the symbols make it easy to pick up exactly where you left off.

Made to be lingered over. Roll out the canvas, fill the tray, and let the lake come together one drill at a time.
