What's Occuring?

I thought it would be best to stick another wee entry on for you. Its been a while! What a mad few weeks in school, about three different holidays and 'special days' seem to have smashed into eachother over the space of these two weeks and obviously we have to celebrate them all, and play games and laminate stuff and colour in and photocopy until our hands (and souls) bleed. BUT think of the children!!! so much so that I regret to say that I've been neglecting my blog as of late.  However don't fret! I've still been making some funky things so here I am once again to fill you in.......

So I've made my first  sale (if you can call it that) I swapped this wee bag for a bottle of vino tinto. Probably better like this. If I got paid in money I would probably spend it on rubbish like sweets.


I was a bit sad to see it go. I only made it as a wee test but I really liked it. It is, I'm glad to say, going to a good home, but still, let's hope that at the very least the wine I receive in return is a good year.

So moving on from small purses I thought I would give myself a wee challenge, learn how to make other things. Also, In anticipation (premature anticipation) of Spring I bought a navy dress with a red rope around the waist. Red and navy don't really feature in my leopard print and kahki coloured wardrobe so it was really the time to make a colourful bag to match. Challenge accepted. Here's my attempt at a nautical style shoulder bag...








I got a bit fed up making it because, as I said, nautical is not usually my style. But despite this small set-back the bag really started growing on me. I love the mad red paisley and blue stripe clash and the buttons are so lovely. 

*(During a product test of this bag I used the TV remote which I then forgot about and couldn't find, leaving me stricken of The Fresh Prince re-runs for an entire day )


 And last but not least, here is a wee sneak of a purse I'm making. You know what they say, "Gem stones are like blue eyeshadow, you can never have enough." -anon.



Stay tuned babes! x
