Continuing with the latest theme of quilting, embellishing and decorative stitches, I made this awesome bag for myself today! I’m totally inlove, of course :) Typical of my style, I made it up as I went along. Had I thought ahead, I would have made the closure flap an inch narrower, so that it fit [...]

The most beautiful and eloquent words…
that I have ever received for one of my products. This is from the beautiful Michelle (Bohemianism – the divine jewellery I keep raving about!) ♥ I was moved to tears by what she said!! “There is nothing to be underestimated about the glorious feeling of acquiring an original design that you know nobody else [...]

Patchwork totes
Maisie’s school bag met a sad, and unwelcome end – all because of a forgotten-about Easter boiled egg…. Hmmmm… LOL So rather than waste money on a crap made-in-China bag, I decided to make one for her… it’s so pretty and she absolutely loves it – she HUGGED it when I showed it to her. [...]

The book bags are done

Quickie bag
Making one was going to be quicker than finding another bag. A green shopping bag just wouldn’t cut it, going to a 7th birthday pool party! I just love it – and how simple it was to make! Just half a pillow case with a ready-made strap! Easy peasy! :)
