Emma's Drawstring Bag


Emma's ninth birthday is tomorrow, so I decided to make her a drawstring bag, and give my new ribbon embroidery supplies a try while I was at it.  I filled the bag with hairbrush and comb, mini pink LED elbowed desk lamp, flowered hair clips, a hardcover spiral journal with a photo of kittens on the front, and a small burgundy leather purse with chain-and-leather strap and several pockets.
Here are my supplies -- and the end result:

Pocketed Elephant Wall-Hanging from Thailand

This is a pocketed wall hanging from Thailand, and was given to Janice, my late sister-in-law, by a Thai friend who visited her native land.  My brother gave it to me when we were cleaning Janice's sewing room.

Marching Teddy Mug Rug



This mug rug is for Josiah for his birthday; he just turned four.  He didn't get a mug rug at Christmas time, because I ran out (though I gave him other things in its place).  So I borrowed back the mug I gave him, and made a rug to match it.

The rug measures 8" x 9½".  The blue edge is a flange.

This is the picture Kat sent me:
