The constant happiness is curiosity

This bag is made from an old organic sweater. It is lined with some fabric from my mum's stash. Inside I made a small pocket for a phone. the stack of books and the bird on the teacup are made with machine embroidery. I also embroidered a saying by Alice Munro :"the constant happiness is curiosity". I love that saying, it is so true. I could do with some practice on the hand-embroidery though...Nevertheless, the bag made my mum (it was a present for her) very happy, her being an avid reader.
