One of the
things I managed to get completed this week was this little bag. I was given a lot of curtain and upholstery
fabric samples, I immediately thought
bags! On Pinterest I have seen some
awesome bags using doilies; however I thought that this material called out for
a softer flap.
The samples
have different colours of the same pattern so I used a darker brown for the
lining, maybe the bag could be reversible!
I was lucky
I had some clay buttons that I used for the embellishments. They matched the scalloped edging colour
perfectly.
Early on
Monday morning I was very pleasantly surprised to get this parcel from Spain.
It was the give-away from Amanda of Crafty in the Med that I won. That was quick 6 days to get here, it takes
longer for parcels posted within NZ!!
So I made
some coffee and open it to reveal these goodies.
Thank you
Amanda! The colours of the wool are
lovely and I could not help myself. They
screamed to me a ripple cushion, which I have been doing during spare moments.
I just love
the basket, I think I will be making a few myself soon!
These Mediterranean
colours must have been on my mind as when I poked my nose in my favourite wool
store I espied some lovely cotton and managed to whip up this small doily.
I so love
these colours and the cotton is lovely and soft I think I shall go back and buy
some more balls and make a shawl that I have seen on the net.
In my
garden this week I was pleased to see that the freesias were in flower.
And the
Bluebells….
Well that’s
it for today see you soon and have a lovely week and thanks for visiting.
