Right Now

I took Master O to school in the pouring rain. As you can see he looked very happy about it.

Now 2 hours later the sun is shinning and my washing is on the line. 

The weather here is so up and down at the moment.

 Right now I am reading some great books.

"The Handmade Market Place" by Kari Chapman. 

This book is a great guide for setting up your own crafting business, so far I have found it invaluable.

"Rip the Page" by Karen Benke. 

Since I started this blog I have realised that I need a bit of help on the creative writing front.

"Super Natural Everyday" by Heidi Swanson

This book I have just got and I am so excited by it.

I love following Heidi's blog "101 Cook books"

Here is the link:

I am looking forward to creating some yummy meals.

On the sewing front I finished two more Hottie Bottle Covers, here's Mr Camel

I

Plus I have just started another bag:

Right Now I am so happy I decided to give my crafting venture a go as I am finding it very fulfilling.

More Bags

I woke on Sunday and checked my emails only to find out that my ABC bag had sold.

It truly made my  day. 

Master O was off to his friend Gingers 8th Birthday party so I made her a bag and a hair clip.

My two nieces who are 8 and 6 are all about the accessories at the moment, so I figured we could not go wrong.

I used some left over fabric in pinks and greens that I had bought in the past from a lovely shop in Onehunga called "Patchwork Passion".

I am off to make more Hottie bottle covers now as joy of  joys they keep selling as well.

Have a lovely day.

This Moment

[this moment} - A Sunday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

S for Strawberrys, P for Pears , G for Grapes, L for Limes

My two favourite colours are shades of red and green together. 

I cannot help myself I am just drawn to these two colours. 

I bought this beautiful vintage table cloth at a school fair a couple of years ago.

It has just been waiting for me to give it a new life.

The ABC Bag came together yesterday

The flowers were inspired by a tutorial by Maize Hutton on Frayed Flowers here is the link:

 I will load the bag on my Etsy and Felt sites some time today who knows maybe I will become a bag designer. Either way I had a lot of fun and I have enough fabric left over to create one more.

Have a happy day.

Bags

I am feeling the urge to make a bag. 

I have in my stash some lovely vintage material in reds and greens so I am thinking to create something new with this, I will keep you posted..................

Over the past few years I have made a number of bags, from little girls bags,

 to big girls bags,

To a little boys school bag,

and chair bag

I do enjoy creating bags.
