What I've Got

 

This is it: the contents of my handwork bag. A very very incomplete and strange assortment of stuff. The rest of my creative materials remain in my still inaccessible house. This is What I've Got.

The inventory includes (starting in upper right of picture):

The handwork bag itself which I really love.

Magic Happening Inside MQG project zip bag. Inside of that is: my small purple plastic embroidery hoop, a glue stick, good embroidery scissors, four different needle threaders, a pack of Clover Golde Eye Chenille Needles (No.22), sixteen colors of embroidery floss on cardboard winders.

Looks like you have enough needle threaders! I think next on my list to make for you is a GO bag, so as long as you have a machine and some fabric, you would be able to piece. Perhaps that is not first on your priority list right now? ;-)

I love seeing things that t I made are with you. I was wondering if you had a journal and was about to sennd you one.

So. Many. Needle. Threaders. It's pretty funny really, they're all different types too. I was trying out all the different kinds when I was doing the SJSA hand stitching and the 25 millions stitches panel.
Yes, I'm glad I have stuff you made for me with me too.
I'm continuing to journal on the app I use. My writing is so bad now.

I love seeing the things I made for you in that pile. :)
