More sewing :)

I seem to have developed a passionate relationship with my sewing machine this week ;) another purse done for my sis and finally finished the embroidery on my nieces fleece muffler :) I did the embroidery by hand, not the easiest thing to do.. but so fun! :)

She ordered green or brownish so what better then to do a green with brown decoration :) I need to get more ribbons, so nice and easy to use them for decorating :) This one is closed with velcro and has a lining of simple white..

My trusty bear modeling my niece's muffler, it's a tad too big on him :P it's probably quite big on L too, but it's got velcro in the back for fastening and it's sewn in a way so it should be usable for quite a long time :) that little red dot is the apple I embroidered on it :) could've been bigger, but that's for another time.. :)

So, what next? I've been knitting on the mittens and they're coming along nicely :) And tomorrow I'll be going to one of those lovely yarn stores and get some yarn to use for a Christmas present! Yes, Christmas present ;) I was smart enough to give a gift certificate to my friend A for a home-knitted shawl :) and now it's time to start on it. I've been looking through ravelry for patterns and I found a whole lot that I like ;) I've chosen one, that I just hope isn't going to be too hard for my beginner-skills.. I'll report when I've started and know how it's going :)
I also want to do something of all the lovely fabrics I've got and that I already have, maybe some bags coming next.. and then I'm going to order name-tags, that you can sew onto clothes, although I'm going to have a penguin and of course "Pingevin" on them and use them on my products :) just have to decide if they should be any special colour.. hmmmmm :D
That's about it for today, tomorrow is another lovely day! :)
