I love Books! Do you?

Hello everyone!

I’ve had a busy time over here – getting out Issue #1 of my newsletter, shopping for birthday gifts for friends and family over the weekend (now I’ve got to box them up to take to the post office tomorrow) and yesterday I made cupcakes for Josh to take to work with him (Carrot Cake Cupcakes from Ina’s “The Barefoot Contessa Parties!”)

All this time I’ve been working on a secret embroidery project. I’ve been so excited to share it with you, but I’ve been waiting until I had them all finished. So, without further ado, here is my latest project: hand embroidered bookmarks!

Ginger Kitten,

Cinnamon Kitten,

Sugar Kitten,

Pepper Kitten,

& Nutmeg Kitten.

Word-Bot,

Page-Bot,

Type-Bot,

Ink-Bot,

& Chapter-Bot.

I’ve just finished a *huge shop update* – you can check them out in more detail there.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a terrific day!

Best, Jenn : )

Hello

Hi everybody!

Things have been super busy over here.

My sewing machine has been getting alot of use lately
… and so have my poor hands.
(I’ve got the beginnings of two blisters on my right hand from scissor use!)


This is a custom order bookmark that I recently made,
for a girl who loves little grey cats and reading : )

I’m working on new needle books, pincushions
and sewing sets (tasket-pincushion-needlebook) for the shop.

I’m especially excited about the sets.
I’ve got bunny and hedgehog and puppy sets in the works.


Here’s a sneak peek at one of the hedgie taskets
(love that Japanese fabric and trim!
)

Don’t forget that the newest installment of
Lake Resort Nurse will be posted tomorrow.

And here’s a little something that might make you chuckle:

What Not To Crochet.

Enjoy!

P.S. Angie over at The Downtown Boutique has recently added one of my needlebooks to her list of favorites – thank you, Angie!
Check out The Downtown Boutique to see lots of pretty handmade items.
Her latest post is about a contest to win a collection of bath and body products!
(maybe there’s some hand lotion in there – I could sure use that!)
