Tree Hugger

I made a little crocery tote. Because I need to have one with me in every bag. I don't always plan out when I go to the store. The idea for the apple tree applique came as soon as I got that fun apple fabric in a "scrap fabric swap" via craftster. I think it looks good and everything, but maybe it's just not that much me.. I might give it to my mom or something.

I also did a little embroidery from a Sublime Stitching pattern. A friend of mine is having a birthday. And what says "birthday" more than a martini? I used a stripey backround 'cos I thought otherwise it would have been too bland. And also since I got that srtipey fabric on the swap as well. I think it came out good. I'm having second thoughts about the blue colour of the liquid, but oh well..

And where's the knitting you ask? I really don't know. I started knitting something last weekend, but it was not happening so I frogged it. I just need to figure out somethins small and nice, and something I really want to knit in order to get my knitting back on.

How come I don't understand how I can upload photos from flickr to my blog? When I did the "blog this" thingy on flickr it just looked odd. And I didn't kow how to get more pictures on one post. I'm not very handy.. or smart.

Mara to the rescue!
When you're on a photo's page on Flickr, click on the 'all sizes' button, next to 'blog this' at the top. It'll take you to a page where you can link the photo in your chosen size to a webpage :)
Hope this helps!

ps. I like your cards!!

Puulaukku on tosi hauska! Samoin kirjottu Martini-lasi. Mitähän anoppi tuumais, jos pyytäisin sen kirjomaan mulle samanlaisen? :)

The tree bag is great. I'm sure your mom will love it (I would!).

I'm still amazed by your stitching skills, too.
