New projects for friends and family ! This little hip bag/tote is perfect for everyday use when you need a small bag for just a few essential items. Lightweight and colourful too! Lightly padded and quilted with some simple embroidery detail and a few buttons to finish the look!

New projects for friends, family and Etsy too – like this latest design!
This little shoulder/hip bag/tote is perfect for everyday use when you just need a small bag for a few essential items! Lightweight, fully lined and colourful too! Padded and quilted with some simple embroidery detail and a few buttons to finish the look! It is completely reversible with an extendible base – just in case you find a little unexpected bargain on your travels!!!

The last few weeks seem to have had me lost in clouds…of….new projects…gifts for upcoming events…for both friends and family, and, I still have a couple on the go, but here’s the finished few 🙂

A little Baby 'Sprinkle' present

A little Baby ‘Sprinkle’ present! A little present for my Dear friend’s imminent new grandson 🙂

The first part of a handmade gift for my great nephew twins, some simple little decorations to hang in their bedroom - boy!!! were those little bunting flags fiddly to attach to the wire! The completed boats are only 3'' wide by 9'' high, so you can imagine how small the triangular flags are. I found some florist wire and a small mixed pack of balsa wood pieces, which have been residing FOREVER in my supply cupboard, so, a Stanley knife and some imagination, plus a couple of holes here and there, a few picture hooks, combined with some leftover fabric to match their cot quilts (I made earlier in the year) resulted in two little boat baptism gifts. I have two patchwork cushion covers also on the go to commemorate their precious day too - more on those soon!

Quilted heart tote. A little gift for my dear friend's grand daughter

Quilted heart tote. A little gift for my dear friend’s grand daughter. Hopefully big enough to carry essentials for a lovely day out with her grandma :-)!

PHEW! I have much to worry about….will they like them?? I hope so 🙂
