The wait is over

Back in May I blogged about an embroidery project which I was doing for my local Embroiders' Guild. It was a seahorse. Well it's now a bag.



I really enjoyed making it. I met the others and we spent a lovely day sewing and chatting. Everyone's bag was different.

It's nearly Friday, I've joined Sue's Crafty Friday make. Which of these magazine freebies should I make? I've got a few keyrings, a brooch and a purse. Hmmmmmm, will see how crafty I feel when I get home from work tomorrow.

Welcome to my newest follower, Chantal, I  see its a new blog. I've added to my reading list.

Have a great Friday.

  2. Your embroidery is beautiful - and on such a lovely bag; well done!
    Enjoy making up your give-aways; perhaps the most difficult part will be deciding which one to do first?
    Wishing you a good Friday too!

    1. The bird key ring is my favourite at the moment, but then again I could do with a new purse, hummmmm.

  3. Your embroidery is beautiful! Is that a big cluster of colourful French knots at the bottom? You are amazing! And nice to make it into a bag to take out and about...put the freebie makes in a bag, close your eyes and pull one out....Chrissie x

    1. Great idea. I was thinking of taking them into work tomorrow, but my colleagues may think I'm going mad. The bag idea wins.

    2. Yes they are French knots, using variegated coloured floss.

  7. Beautiful work, it's so intricate! I'd make the doll keyring next because I have a real soft spot for matryoshkas :) Have a lovely weekend! xoxo

  8. Great bag! And how many of us have these little kits - good idea to set aside some time on a Friday to make them. Think I might follow you on that one!
