BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND


So here in the U K we have had our last Bank Holiday of the year ,and for once the weather was quite good , perhaps not everywhere but down in beautiful Brixham  Devon it was a great weekend.
Before we went on Friday I had time to make one more bag,and I am so pleased with this one as it is made from old jeans.

This was fun to make and a great way to recycle.
Now some photos of our weekend in DEVON.
