doodle stitching.

Wishfully thinking I will have time to start doodle stitching. This book is seriously adorable.  I'm just waiting for my next wedding invitation to arrive in my mailbox so I can get started on a set of monogrammed tea towels.

Available on amazon for $7.62

I'll be sure to post anything I get around too.

embroidered bags à la dolce & gabbana.

I am LOVING these needlepoint / cross stitch bags by Dolce & Gabbana.

Their whole Fall Winter 2013 collection is amazing!  

Lots of over the top painterly floral prints, 

extravagant gold trim & tons of embroidery.

I obviously wanted one of these  gorgeous bags but they are approx. $1800. 

So naturally, I used my resources and took to the internet (eBay).
