...a few things finished...

Way back in 2010...

...you'll remember I was stitching "Chemanthy" onto some hand-dyed fabrics...

...well...

...one set has now been stitched into a small bag AT LAST :-)))



I put some orange tassels in the bottom corners, and added a long indian braid shoulder strap.



Here's another piccie of the front...



...and another of the back.

The finished size is 19cm x 11cm (excluding the tassels!).
The shoulder strap is 120cm long.
The bag is lined with natural Irish linen.

More of my little houses have also been completed...



..all with added hand embroidery, using my new hand-dyed 2/28s cotton thread.




It's been a hectic few days again....

...I'm now going to sit down and enjoy a cup of green tea....

..and maybe tomorrow....I can get the pictures uploaded into my BigCartel shop so that these can go on sale! It's driven me daft today :-(

(E-mail if you want to reserve)

I've also put a load of hand-dyed silk threads in the shop blog here

...there'll be loads of cotton coming soon too :-)
