I'm so happy and relieved to hear that she loves it.
Here is what I made for her, as belated (too late!) Birthday gift.
I made her a tote bag with her Initial "N".
This combination of fabrics is how I image about Nancy. <--- sorry for my poor English... ;0
When I think about Nancy, deep red colour comes out in my mind, so I chose these fabrics for her!
I added crochet flower and lace at the side as tag, and stitched her Initial in pink on raw linen.
I also added light brown leather handles for it, and I think it turned out elegant, and it became just for Nancy!
As I mentioned that I'm not good with a sewing machine, so it took too much time.
Sorry Nancy, but I wanted to make this for your birthday!
Nancy has more pics of this on her blog!
Anyway, before I move, I wanted to take some photos of my favourite place in my house, but forgot to take them before I packed...
Here is only one photo of my shelf where stitching smalls (my works and gifts from friends) were.
I loved this house except mold thing, because there were many shelves that I could display smalls, but there is no shelf in the next house.
So we are planning to have some antique furniture in the near future, but just still planning, though! :)
Some friends asked me about my next PIF.

I will write about my PIF "Part 2" in the next post, so please sign up for it in the next post, if you are still interested in!
Thank you!
I must go now, have to prepare for lunch!

Oh Yuko, your bags really are beautiful. Each one is made so lovingly and just right for the good friend who is receiving it. You are right, those colours are perfect for nancy. No wonder she is overjoyed. i love the pretty crochet flower, it makes it look vintage. I know nancy will treasure it.
Your display is so pretty. I love lots of little pieces of stitching. There is always something different to see. I am sure you will make your new house very special as you are artistic and very creative :>)
