Fiddling!

Is what I seem to have been doing lately - small, easy projects, a bit here and a bit there. I have three larger projects that seem to be hanging on a bit so I am aiming to get them all finished off this week.

First up was this embroidered bag which I almost finished earlier this year.


I had decided that it needed a tassel on the bottom so I ordered some thread and then it got forgotten.

Anyway, last week, out came these delicious threads



and with the addition of some beads from my stash, made this tassel.


Which I have now added to the bag.



Great. One finish for the week and it looks good hanging from the bottom of my new postcard hangar too.

Hope you manage a finish or two this week.

  10. Hello Lin,

    Oh I like how you fiddled with the bag, the tassel is so lovely, the chosen threads look so soft. I too noticed the Dragonfly on your bag.

    Happy days.

  11. Your bag is lovely. The beading on the tassel is a terrific detail. i like the dragon fly that you added on the bag. It will look great on your spring coloured crazy quilt block that I saw in an earlier post.
