My Bags...........

Hi everyone.  I have had a slight holiday from my blog and have now come back with fresh ideas.  I am now sewing as well as papercrafting. Who knew i had it in me.  I started by making a little handbag for myself and I posted it on a facebook group i run and it just took off. I now have a steady sale of bags and I have also joined with my neice and we ar e running a small but perfectly formed craft group down in Leicester once a month. More on that laters..  Here are some of my bags that are still available to purchase.  The smaller handbags are £12.50 and the larger Totes are £17.50 - both plus postage (£2.70 1st class).  The all have no fastening and 6 pockets on the outside of the bag. I think you can use for crafty items so paint brushs, pens, knitting needles or just for you normal shopping or as a beach bag or baby bag. I use a small handbag for work (in a tartan fabric) and put my phone in one of the pockets, my pass in another, travel tissues in another, lip gloss and mascara in another and still have 2 pockets left over. Inside comfortabbly holds my purse and filofax/diary and a tablet when i need it. The larger Totes obviously have larger pockets and a side pocket will easily hold a Kindle or Tablet.

My dad on honeymoon in Blackpool 1955

My dad again in uniform

Just a couple of pages of my dad - He goes in for an operation on Tuesday. He has Prostate cancer but apparently it wont kill him........ He's 81 now so i gues something else will get him before the cancer does as its slow growing. Hopefully the operation will help him with other aspects of having an enlarged prostate.  I loved doing these pages - my dad is so handsome.

Mothers Day card

This is the card I made for Mothers Day - Rotten photo but I liked the card when I made it. I have been using up some bits and bobs to make this card that have been sat in my stash for years ( except for the papers ) My Mum loved the charms hanging off a safety pin.  XX Sharne

WOYWW 210312

Hi Everyone.  WOYWW is Julias creation from The Stamping Ground. It is a great way to snoop around everyones creative desks. I missed a week last week as we were on holiday in the middle of a forest - no broadband, no phone reception and only 5 channels on the TV.  We did however have a hot tub -  we really enjoyed it. I did take a bit of craft with me and crafted on 2 afternoons/evenings so all in all a really good week.

Hope to get around to snooping later today after work. See u later  XX Sharne
