Under the Sea Hand Bag Completed!

Yay! I finally completed a 2016 goal shared on my UFOs and Other Projects to Complete Page! 

(Note: If you visit the link above in 2017 or later, the list will have changed.)

Some of you may remember way back in January of 2015, I planned to turn this piece of embroidery into a purse to sell in my Etsy shop. (You may have also noted by my empty shop that I am not quite comfortable selling what I make. That may need to change soon...)
You may also remember when I received this gorgeous needle painted amaryllis from my friend at Little Orphan Stitch. 

 (You may see more details about it here.)
In the back of my mind, I believe my dear friend asked me to let her know when I finished this hand bag. So, I thought it would be fun to surprise her with it instead.
It is not perfect, but I do hope she likes it!
It was fun to create!

 Now that she has received it, I may share it with you all.

 I would love to hear what you are working on at the moment.

 Thanks for stopping by!
-Renee

    Your bag turned out beautiful!

    And your post reminded me that it's been ages since I worked on my Under the Sea embroidery. I may have to carve out some time to sit and stitch this weekend.

    What a charming gift you created for your friend who sounds delighted to have it.
    I've not tried attaching the closure to fabric yet as it looks tricky.
