Busy, Busy, Busy

Another day, another project!  I created a little bag to go with Honey's ensemble and yes you were right there are a couple of little treasures from Granny inside.  We don't see them very often so they deserve to be spoilt.



I covered a button with the lining fabric so that it all matched well.  I was quite pleased with the overall look of it.  The lining really does make it so girly with those tiny ditty flowers, she will love it.

I also made a start on replenishing the gift cupboard, using some of the soap I made.  I then added a lavender bag, so quick and simple to make.





I crocheted a wash cloth and then added a Harris Tweed brooch.





I have a stack of Cath Kidston fabric that needs using so I decided to make some bags for the gift cupboard to use it up.




Some red checked fabric made for the perfect lining , even a pocket was added.  One very quickly became two.



Spring has certainly arrived despite the rain and windy weather we are experiencing but taking photographs indoors is still an issue, which is why I am taking photographs on the window ledge.  The days are getting longer but we are yet to get any bright sunny days that I am so looking forward to.  The spring/Easter decorations have been found but I have yet to make a start so that is my plan for tomorrow.  Have you any plans for the weekend?  For those of us in the UK don't forget the clocks change this weekend.

See you soon.

    Wonderful bags all. And nice gifts for the gift drawer. What did you call it? Scrolling back to look...oh, yes, Gift Cupboard. That’s even better. We are a few weeks into DST and I am loving it.

    Love all your makes, I love homemade bags and have bought a few from craft sales over the years. Love the idea of a gift cupboard, though thinking about it, I put things to oneside in a cupboard too, such as books. This weekend I'm going to knit more of my jumper as I'm waiting a delivery for a sock needle so can't knit socks. After finishing my blanket for MIL, I feel at a lose end and don't want to start anything new. Cathy x

    All the bags are gorgeous, the tweed is delightful, but I do love the red too! You are quite talented to just whip these up so quickly! And I love the idea of making gifts beforehand for your gift closet. That is a wonderful idea. The lavender sachet looks fun and easy to make too! We have enjoyed lovely springshine days here, but the rain/clouds come back in tomorrow, I sure have enjoyed them while they lasted though! Blessings and hugs :)
