Towel Hangers

I got into the mood of making towel hanger and made 17 pieces. Here are some of them :

Plus this pink one too :

and also made a pair of pot holders

And these becomes a set, nice?

Valentine's Exchange

I've participated in a Valentine's Exhange for the first time.  It is organised by a Yahoo stitching group that I've joined (some years ago) called NNC.  My partner happen to be Nik who gave me an Embroideried  Needle book (with some pins and needles inside too)  a lovely pincushion and some heart shaped stickers . I love them all and here's are some  picture of it :

Inside the book are some  needles :

and some pins

and here is what I've made for  her in returned :

Its a towel holder in pink (cos she likes pink) and a moroon colour hand towel.
plus some zip, button maker, fabric I brought from America and some ribbon.  I hope she likes what I''ve selected for her.......

Unfinished Projects

I've lots of sewing projects that I've left unfinished over the years.  And I told myself to finish them up when I've more time. So, during the recent long school holidays in November and December 2010, I am glad I've manage to get some done. And here it is :

 I call this the 'Flower Bag' as it has eight flowers (four on each side).

 This is the 'Oriental Bag'   cos it has a  'cheong sam'  look.

This is Sun Bonnet Sue that I've learned to applique a few years ago. I've now finally finished it up into a little bag! 

The back looks like this:

 And it comes with a matching zipper pouch.

Another of my half done project is this sewing box. I'm very pleased with how the box turned out :)

And the inside looks like this :

Big Blue Bag

Recently,  I managed to complete sewing this big bag with lots of compartments and I called it The Big Blue Bag.  Lots of work but am quite happy with the result!

Stash from USA

 Look what I brought from my trip to US!

I manage to go to Shop at Joann one day before we fly home.  We were on our way to visit Santa Monica Beach and my son took me to this shop (about 10 mins walk from the beach) .  And I went gu-gu-ga-ga stashing away.  I ask my hubby and younger son to go down to the beach first. While my elder son patiently wait for me to finish shopping! He is such a great son!
