Got some sewing done!

Today the kids were at school so it was just Sami and I in the morning which meant I could get a little sewing done. I managed to finish a towel I had on the go for Sami. Actually it had started as a gift for someone else but I was not happy with the appliqué and I did not have time correct it. Today I did some corrective stitching on the applique and then added Sami's name. It is off centre. I am still getting the hang of hooping. I tried a new design I purchased a while ago. It had 5 colour changes! Pure madness, it took me all day given that I did not have it finished by the time i picked up the kids so this afternoons efforts were always interrupted. To be honest I am not that happy with the stitchout of his name but I am sure he won't complain.

I also got started on a sling for a friend of mine. She has a wedding to go to back home and when she saw this fabric (fantastic red dragon silk brocade) she thought it would make a great "accessory". I hope to finish it tonight.

Lastly here are a few pics of my supervisor Sami. He is 8 and 1/2 months old now! He is always so curious and of course he wants to eat everything (except for real food!).
