Seven Roses

I made this pouch to keep the needle packs, but I am going to use it for make up, You can put the pencils in, wrap it and it can stand up.
you can purchase this pattern in the shop of Facile Cecile.
She has a very pretty blog also

I have done some stitching yesterday

Last week I ordered this book on Amazon.fr (free shipping to Belgium!)  :)

here is the link
Such an inspiring book, I couldn't wait to make some stitches.
I often take my I pod with me when walking the dog, or riding on my bike, to listen to audiobooks.
and I made a pouch to handg round my neck, to hold my I pod, while listening.
Here it is,

I know it's a little bit over the top, overworked, but I see it as a stitching practice project. Could not resist adding a crocheted border, I loved to try that one out, (making a crocheted border on fabric)
I had collected some pretty images about that on my pinterest

Can't wait to watch some flowers and make some embroidery designs myself, here in my garden, endless possibilities.

I wanted to try out some embroidery with silk ribbon, but the problem (here in Belgium) is, that I never can find what I need(no embroidery silk ribbon to find in this little country) so I used synthetic ribbon, and that is not nearly as pretty, if anyone can recommend me a good internet supplier in Europe? please do, thank you.
