Joanne Heim: Emma's guest post

Nice to meet you

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Joanne and I’ve been blogging for many years under the name The Simple Wife (you can see all of my old posts under the archives or by clicking on any of the categories that interest you). I love receiving comments from you and try to respond to each one personally. I hope you’ll visit often!

Emma decided that she'd like to be the one to tell you about her latest craft project... So, take it away, Emma!

This is the zippy purse I made this morning. It's called "Spring All The Time."

First Mom gave me some fabric and I drew the picture. And then I embroidered it using a needle and doing the backstitch. It was hard at first but it became easier and easier because I practiced a lot. My favorite part of the picture is the bunny because it was really hard to do it because of all the curves. It was just amazing that I did it!

I just really love bunnies and they're one of my favorite animals. We have a new baby bunny that just got born a while ago that's really cute. It lives under my deck and that's why I decided to put a bunny on my picture.

Today I sewed it into a zippy. I put a different type of fabric on the inside. It was really fun. Mom helped me with the sewing. We used the sewing machine.

Here's the front:

And here's the back:

I'm going to bring it to Alaska and put my Pet Shops and my Puppy in My Pockets in it.

P.S. from Joanne:

I should mention that she didn't make the whole thing today. It took a day or two to do the embroidery and to wash and press the fabric afterward. This morning, we just sewed the zippy!

Wow! I am so impressed with your crafting... I need to learn how to make a zippy purse (or three). Way to go.

Hi Emma! I so love your zippy! You did a great job on that rabbit! What fun to do projects like that with your Mommy. I know when you are all grown, it will be these types of memories that you will love and cherish most!
