Hi everyone! I'm so glad you liked my chocolate balls, let me know if you tried them! I had a lovely time at the fair, it was HUGE. I didn't buy much though... That's one of the annoying things about Sweden, fabric and notions are terribly expensive here! But even though I didn't get to shop a lot, the fair was fun and inspiring! After the fair I visited my moms house and got to try her amazing new sewing machine! It's a Husqvarna Viking Designer Diamond - she got it fresh out of the factory. The embroidery unit is incredible! We tried it out on a simple design, this little pouch:
What do you think? I keep telling my mom she could sell her creations - especially now that she's got such a great sewing machine. But he's still hesitating and refusing to believe in her abilities - any encouraging words would be appreciated!
I also wanted to show you a fun little toy i discovered the other day - the Multicolr Search Lab! It lets you pick up to ten colors and then finds a ton of wonderful flickr photos that contain those colors. I made the mosaic below with some of the photos I found - the result is even more stunning if you pick contrasting colors though. Try it out!
the purse is terrific!!!
