Anna and I finished our boxes from Blackbird Designs
She came to my house on Sunday
We painted and put them together in the morning. They are not all the way finished here, because we took a break to the stitch-in at www.inspiredneedle.com.
The patterns are out of the Stitcher's Journey booklet
And here is my box all finished
On the way home we stopped by the Chicago Outlet Mall. We made a bee line to the Vera Bradley store. Anna come out of the store with this bag and accessories. I have no clue what the pattern is called. I love how the green and purple pop with the black background.
That's it for today.
I'll be back in a couple of days with a finish
Tata!!
