Time To Sew

 

I managed to make  more bags over the weekend .

 

the photos should have been taken in natural light ,not in the evening on a very dull day.As well as these three I made two more of this design and then as usual I was bored.

So although I have several books with designs decided to do my own thing ,a much simpler and quicker design to make up.

I have not decided how to do the handles or even if I like this design at all.

Kalona is hosting an inchie twinchie box swap ,and as the sewing machine was out I decided to make up some samples.

this looks quite odd but in the flesh it is purple fleece layered with organza and  stitched with a free arm.

this is denim layered with green cotton and top stitched

and these were cut from a felted cashmere sweater.Spot the seagull which is printed on muslin,and stitched in place.

Although they may look as if they are different shapes ,each one is a perfect twinchie thanks once again to my Sizzix.

I also made up a few flowers

I am just waiting for an address so that I can send last months journal pages.

Drench

Angels and Demons

This owl is also waiting to fly  ,I just have to finish it .

Spot the SIZZIX

i received some wonderful ATCs in Monika's swap

No Time To Play

As Some of you may know I have a new job  3 days a week,well of course it is not really a job  I should be calling it a weight loss /exercise plan.
Little Miss X is now with me  while Mum goes back to teaching part time. This means that at the moment there will be no time for crafting on these days. The bag making is now reserved for weekends as I cannot risk a11month old in the same room as pins and scissors. Paper craft ATCs , journals etc. will now been done in the evening ,if I can stay awake.
I have had her on various odd days building up to this week ,and all went well  but she was not so mobile then. We now have an 11month old who can crawl faster than I can walk (almost ) add to this mix a Black Labrador with the waggiest  tail in the world and an obsession with food.



Thursday


Friday lunch  the best finger food, scrambled egg and cream cheese.
I have video footage of this as Wilson was under her chair and she giggled as she dropped food for him.
Unfortunately as she did not have a morning nap ,soon after lunch this was the scene.

one very very tired little girl who just would not give in

until she could hold out no longer

she did not even make it to the cot.

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.






This is the steam train which travels along the coast and passes  the house where Agatha Christie lived.I took this just as the sun was setting,and the view from the train must have been beautiful.




Of course the wall was full of crabbers

all ages


The tides were very high this weekend and this television superstar came in for a lick of paint.
This trawler is appearing on the SKY ATLANTIC channel on  Friday nights FISH TOWN.

This is the view from my window

You know you have a house by the sea when you find crabs by the front door.

we managed to fit in a walk to Berry Head up through the woods which I mentioned in an earlier post.






I still found time for a spot of shopping

I know I am making bags but I fell for this felt one which is a vibrant purple in real life.

A local group are redesigning a flower bed in a very quirky way.


I think this painting is wonderful
