 I used DMC 51 to stitch all the speciality stitches. 

 It's a lovely mixture of yellow, orange and red. 

 The fabric is a plain pale green evenweave. Prettier than the photo suggests!

19. Plum Street Samplers Brew Ha Ha

Plum Street Samplers - Brew Ha Ha

stitched over one on 32 count Platinum linen

I changed the large coffee bean man into DMC 4130 and the coffee cups into the colours used for the leaves.  Because I stitched it over one, it meant I could stitch the border over two and just do a single X instead of 4 smaller xx.  It was charted to have the dark grey inbetween the orange in the border but I thought that would be too heavy and preferred it like this.
