I’ve finished another batch of towel embroidery. All things concidered I’m pretty happy with the way these turned out. Faces and hands seem to be pretty difficult for me. The detail in these made them take way longer to complete than the other ones.

Sewing Box

May
I had this sewing box when I was a kid.
It’s one of the many childhood items that have made their way back to me (my parents don’t want to keep this stuff anymore). So it’s just been sitting in the closet not getting used because my crafting has far exceeded the size of this box. BUT my kid has started sewing and I thought that might be a good use for the sewing box. The problem is I have a son and yellow flowers just aren’t his style. So I decided that I would update the box for him.
I started by spray painting it black.
It was at this point that I panicked a little bit. I was kinda feeling that spray painting it was a mistake, but I was already committed at this point so I continued.
Next I made an alien head stencil and I stencil the heads. After the paint dried I hand painted the eyes.
I think the finished box turned out pretty cute. Its much more suited for an 8 year old boy and I like it too.

So my wonderful kid also likes to craft. He is 8 and he made me this beautiful pin cushion and storage box.
It is beautiful and I will get to think of him whenever I do any sewing.
Net Shopping Bag

I saw a link to this great knitted shopping bag a few days ago, so I made one. 
All and all the bag turned out really well. It was fast to knit and very easy. The only thing I might change is to make the handles a little shorter, but then you wouldn’t be able to wear it stylishly on your shoulder.

I’ve been doing a lot of emboidery lately. I’ve gotten several iron on transfers from sublime stitching. I’ve been doing the embroidery on williams-sonoma’s white kitchen towels . So here are some of the towels I’ve done so far:
