| Made 10 little pretty pots. |
 |
| Really enjoyed sewing them as it became an expression of me..... |
 |
| .....from the choice of colours, threads, lace and ribbons as well as the embroidery of the name and designs. Every single part is sewn either by machine or hand. A fully lined pot with little handmade bows at the sides. (Min's is my daughter's and my fav design.) |
 |
| Pretty flowers, pretty bees..... |
 |
| and prettly little butterflies sitting on the rim. |
 |
| Have been toying with the idea of sewing in handles instead of a strap on the wistlet for several months but I was unsure on how to do it. But with time, comes more confidence and I have finally attempted to do something that turned out to be too easy. |
 |
| The embroidery does seem to blend in too much but I like subtlety sometimes...... |
 |
| and other times, not. |
 |
| Took a break from sewing to bake this yummy chocolate cake with cheese frosting (my favourite type of frosting). It is actually a Red Velvet Cake, recommended by Serendipity Cakes. Thanks Yvonne! |
 |
| The cake is called red velvet because it uses a lot of red colouring to give it a rich red look. But of course, being so unprepared but so eager to bake, I made it minus the red colouring. Fortunately, the taste was just as good. |
 |
| It was so good that I sacrificed my dinner for two slices of cake. A truly great cake. |
 |
| A diary wrap, that is! |
 |
| Decided to make a cover for my diary and receipts and pens so that I don't need to hunt for it. Sign of old age..... |
 |
| A cheery red and white pouch to brighten up one's day. It is with two complimenting materials and a pleat and an inner pocket. |
