I am sure the first craft store I visited in the USA I must have had the same wonder and excitement on my face that my kids had at Disneyland. Seriously, I was in awe.
I had a whole three hours to enjoy two of the major craft stores with my eldest daughter.
I spent most of the time just looking, absorbing, discovering things we don't have here.
My lovely host sister had saved me coupons so I was really excited to get 50% off some items.
I purchased this lovely book (amongst many other things)
which wound up under the Christmas tree for me.
I have dabbled in machine embroidery in the past... making an apron for a swap in 2010.
But I really wanted to work on my technique.
So this week I started practising from the book. Using their templates I made a toilet bag and it is the giveaway for day 5 - you could win it!!

Ohhh that is the most adorable toiletry bag I have ever seen!!!
I don't know if I have the patience for hand embroidery lol
Oooo I lurve it!! Clever you!! S xo
i've seen so many people talk about this technique but i'm still clueless as to what it is!!
Can it be done on a non-fancy machine?? I should get off my bum and google.

cutest toilet bag ever! clever you :)
Cute! I think I would use it for hair things rather than my toothbrush/toothpaste.. it's too pretty to get messy! hehe :)
You are incredibly creative and industrious with your time. So happy for you to have enjoyed quality time enjoying a browse of craft shops and came away with some treasures to enjoy 2013 (and beyond!) with.
