Orchid blooms

My orchid plant finally bloomed after a very long time! It's a great feeling! 

At first I thought it's growing another root, but it turned out to be a flower spike!

 This orchid was a lovely gift from a dear friend. 

Now these flowers remind me of her :o)

My new key chain

I made myself a key chain using a kit from Kiriki Press.

The only change that I made to the original kit was a little ribbon that I added on top for hanging. 

I love embroidery but I hadn't done it since I was in high school! Now I feel refreshed.
