A Bag for Anna

Today was the last day for Anna who I work with at Nursery.  She is forging ahead with her career to become a teacher and she will be fab.  As I think everyone needs a new bag when they start school this is what I made her for a leaving gift.  Spotty on the inside with London print on the outside with a spotty bow.

London print from Fabrics Galore, Lavender Hill, London

Spotty from Dunelm Mill, Dotty label from the selvedge of fabric

Big spotty bow

Very spotty

Anna loved the bag and was impressed when I said I had made it.  She said I had been hiding my skills - I then declared to Toni 'What a Hoot Pants' that I write a blog and they all squealed.  If you are reading this girls HELLO!! 

Guess what - I'm off on my holidays tomorrow.  Cornwall here we come.  Yeahhhh!!!!

Hoping this will post as Blogger was naughty earlier 'sorry showing inappropriate behaviour and lost my post' - bleat.

Colourful

As it has been a little dreary - weather wise - I thought I would share a little colour.  Here are some of my latest crochet makes.  Simple granny square cushions in various sizes backed with vintage/vintage style fabric and fastened with vintage buttons.  Very simple but very colourful.

Rico Cotton Aran Weight was used from Cucumber Patch 

Target squares and granny squares

Vintage buttons 

Vintage feedsack and barkcloth

Co-ordinated spotty ribbon trim

Feather cushion pad

Very bright and cheerful

Cath inspired colour scheme

Seaside blues and lemons

Ice cream shades

Bright tangerine, yellow and blues

All lined up

After making the Cornwall bags I made another with vintage images of Scarborough on it. Its made from canvas, old cloth, vintage and re purposed fabrics.

Oh Mrs Jones - look what I got from the tip - it was in the front of someone's car and I was brave enough to ask if it was going in the skip. Not if you would like it was the reply.  It is working but has no foot pedal at the moment so i'm hoping Louise at hopeandelvis.com has one for me to test it would then I will source a new one.

Hope you all have a good weekend, we are having a girly one as K has trotted off to London to visit a friend so we will be eating sweets, ice cream, popcorn and watching chic flicks to our hearts desire and we may indulge in a little light shopping also.  Ahh bliss.
