crazy quilt sewing bag, embellishing..

Pink pom-poms, what else??
                               I made this sewing bag from a crazy quilt I made just for this purpose.
                               I was able to get 3 sewing bags from it and about three pin cushions.
                               The pink pom-poms are so delicious. I will add some hand embroidery
                               next. Is there life without embellishment? I don't think so. I have seen
                               people who try to pretend there is no embellishment, as if it were a bad
                               word or something. I watch them and I secretly add to and embellish
                               every thing they are wearing and saying. Try it sometime.

I love the embellishing process and have a hard time knowing when to quit!

You secretly want to embellish and I secretly want to take scissors at any particularly delicious clothing that complete strangers are wearing. If they only knew what I was thinking! I once expressed the thought that I wished I has scissors in a rather pricey dress shop and then wondered why the salesperson followed me everywhere.
