Changing My Mind...

I am working on a bag my friend Penny gave me as a gift. I had picked out my floss colors, but... I was not happy with the way it was looking. So, I am undoing some of my stitches.

Hey, a girl can change her mind. Right?

Sewing, Quilting and Craft Show...

Yesterday I went to a fabulous craft show with my friends. We had so much fun, spending hours looking at everything, and then deciding what to get. So many cute quilt and embroidery patterns, fabric, buttons and notions. And the sewing machines. Wow... Well, I got a few pretty things and I can't wait to use them. I promise to share when I'm done.

Bag...

I bought a lovely book about a year ago called Sew Pretty Homestyle. It is full of beautiful things that you can make for your home and this bag is in the book. I saw the fabric in the store about 2 weeks ago, being carried around by another woman. I loved the bright colors of the flowers and my first thought was how I wish I had seen it first. Well, to my surprise, she was standing at the cutting table when my number was called. I was so happy and bought just enough to make my bag.

I love it.

Pin Cushion...

I have had the same red tomato pin cushion, with the little strawberry, since high school. I had Home Ec. and made a pillow, a skirt (which didn't turn out so well) among other things.

Lately, I have seen so many cute pin cushions that I had to try and make one for myself. I'll tell you this... Sewing a circle is not as easy as it looks.  But, I do really like the way my pin cushion turned out. And, I'm sure I will make more in the future.
