Once again I'm joining in with the Christmas Countdown challenge over at Allie's blog. We're half way there, but I'm so not half way there with my Christmas presents, I really must pull my finger out. All I have to show for this month is this little cross stitch tote bag for my god-daughter who'll be 3 by Christmas.
I got an early Christmas present this year! The lovely Sandra sent me these gorgeous bunny buttons! What a lovely surprise, thanks Sandra! I'm going to have to use these on a present for myself as I want to keep them!
Also in the picture below is my new little tool. I've wondered about double needles before and decided to buy one to try out. I love the look of a double row of topstitching and think this may be the answer. Luckily, the day I ordered them Sew4Home did a tutorial on how to use them. So that's what the extra spool holder on my machine is for!!

I think your Goddaughter's tote is adorable, and I can't wait to see what you do with your twin needle! Just make sure you don't have your machine set on a zigzag stitch when you use it - ask me how I know this :D
Lovely tote bag for your God daughter. Double needles are great! It's just the best (and in my case the only) way of getting neat, even double rows of stitching.
Have a great day,
Dorien
You finished it, yay for you! It is so darling!!! And what cute buttons from Sandra - she's a sweetie!
How sweet, well done.
Very nice indeed. One lucky little God daughter.
