Happy mail & a peek of a new project

Just when I needed something to lift my spirits this arrived in the mail from my Danish embroidery friend Carina! How sweet is this needle book? I can store plenty of needles in it and it has a neat little pocket to put some floss in as well. :)  I know (and this is not why she send me one trust me!) that Carina sells these in her shop too. Thank you Carina!


So...here's a little something I've been working on in the past week. I've been 'playing' with Saffron Craig's 'Beetle Bugs' fabrics, trying to translate them into embroidery. I kept the design very close to Saffron's original designs for this line of fabric. Not sure where this will lead but I'm very pleased with this 'Bouncy Bug' design. Even my husband commented on it! (in a good way....)


Wouldn't this be cute embroidered on a boy's pillow case? Or on a book bag? Let me know what you think!

    The bug is very cute indeed! It is a great design for a boy - bed bugs on a pillowcase! ;-)

    The bug is fantastic! I have this fabric too! I haven't used much of it, just a few scraps here and there.

    Is that a book in your parcel from your friend?
