A little bit of embroidery for a change.

(Sorry for the poor lighting)

I LOVE sewing, but it is nice to mix it up with some other needlecrafts once in a while. The only other one I really know how to do is embroidery. I love the effect. And I love this rose design. I usually do it in pink, but wanted to try a new color this time, so I chose two different shades of purple. I am working it on natural colored cotton and this will be the front of a zipper pouch that I plan to make. It will be a rectangular one like I usually make for the shop. 

I also love embroidery because you can take it with you anywhere. I plan to work on this on the way to my grandma's in the car tomorrow unless I finish it tonight. It is hysterical to me to be needling away in the car whilst sitting at a gas station and look over to see a look of confusion on some person's face who happened to catch me at it. God forbid a young woman keeps some stitchery in her purse these days!! :P
