Sweet Treats

I worked on Sweet Treats last night. The new installment is out and I should be getting it in the mail pretty soon from Handcrafts Online, so I thought I'd stitch as much as I could until I got the pattern.

Sweet Treats as of 3/25/08

I also got a new Vera Bradley bag yesterday (which you all know is my other weakness). It's the Laptop Case in Mod Floral Pink. I have been looking at it for a long time. I thought it would make a perfect little cross stitch bag...

Large zippered pocket in the middle - perfect for holding stitching projects

Zippered side pocket - perfect for keys, glasses, wallet, etc.

I'll probably get back to Sampler Lady today unless Sweet Treats #2 comes in the mail and then I'll work on that. Write later! :)

  3. I'm stitching sweet treats too - isn't it great? I love how yours is coming out. I'm also stitching ahead on it, but I didn't stitch the brown horizontal line because as far as I could tell from staring at the tiny photograph of the model, the line is not the same width in each square. so be careful :-D

    Such a smart idea to use the laptop case for a stitching bag, it's the perfect size. And then if you ever need to schlep your laptop somewhere, you're all set.

  8. No! No more Vera Bradley enabling! I can't take it...I love them all! Seriously though Nicole, that bag is just gorgeous.

    I am currently attempting to sew a VB look-alike, something like the Hipster. So if anyone sees one IRL, can you tell me how it's finished at the top? Zipper or magnetic closure?

  9. Sweet Treats is looking yummy! Very exciting waiting for the next installment.

    Great idea for your VB bag. I love using things for something different than their original intention.
