Bags and Stuff!

Morning all, aplogies for being AWOL all week, luckily I've had some custom orders to complete which have kept me busy. I have been very naughty buying lots of yummy Moda fabrics which were new in at my local fabric shop so I couldn't resist. I made some tiny patchwork bags to use as either gift bags for toiletries or a little girls bag, they are so sweet and a couple of M & S smellies wrapped in a flannel fit perfectly in them. Next to make some in Christmas fabrics!

Next I made a lovely Summer bag using the new Moda prints. The fabric is such great quality so worth the extra, it just glides through the sewing machine. I was really pleased with the results - I think it has a Retro feel to it, I could imagine having one of these in the 70's - in fact I probably did. I haven't put many bags in my Folksy shop before but have decided to put a few on and see how they do, thanks for looking!

Tiny Totes and funny dogs!

Hi all, another week flying by! I spent yesterday completing a bag I eventually called a 'Tiny Tote', it's 8" x 10" rather than the large shopping style tote and has a really Summery look to it. I originally made the blue panel with patchwork, ribbons and some bead work as a small cushion cover but when I came to make it up decided on a bag instead...as you do. Here is the finished article:
Yesterday my OH decided to make some bread, he has made white bread previously but wanted to make a wholemeal loaf. Those breadmakers amongst you will know how much harder the kneading of this is, while he was huffing and puffing at this, our 2 dogs Dex and Louis looked on mesmerised, they looked so funny I snapped a photo of them. The bread was delicious - I should have photographed it but it wasn't around long enough so here are the boys instead!

Can we have some pleeeeeeeease?
