Well…my thoughts were…if I can put a Desert Island Scene on a Peg/Clothespin Bag…then why not do a ‘mountainscape’ scene too 🙂

Another couple of my new Peg/Clothespin Bags. Maybe it’ll start a little trend of freeze drying laundry on the slopes :-). The other  not quite as wacky..OR is it?!! ‘Course they both seem perfectly feasible in my mind  😀

A little fly and dry option !!                                                                                                                                                 I must confess to many happy hours playing with felt during their making…takes me back to childhood ‘fuzzy felt’ days ! Now, I just draw, cut and create my own pictures  😉

Treasure Island Washday pb (1)

Continuing my quest to make ever more, even quirkier, unique Peg Bags….My week started here! After considering where I would most like to take my washing in order to get it dry ~ having no electric dryer (living in the dark ages and all that) I considered it would be very cool to set off in my orange short set and matching hat to a remote, very deserted desert Island to watch my whites waft in the wind!! Hand drawn , cut and appliqued novelty Peg Bag ~ check out my Etsy Shop for more quirky items and gift ideas!

On a little roll of creativity, I got, interjected with…an urgent request from a lovely lady in the UK…..Could I make her…..An Origami folded fabric tote in the ‘little owl’ fabric, the same as I had made my little 8 pocket pouches???? But, Of Course!! I even gave her the option of a bespoke lining colour and wadding effect!! No sooner had I had her reply, I was racing off to the fabric store ~ before it closed to buy the requested colour – Duck Egg Blue!!

Owl fabric origami tote (1)

Received request…Sourced Fabric…Produced the next day….Listed for sale…and sold!…all within two days ~ shipped… and my lovely lady received it the day after ~ what a turn around in under 96 hours!!! My lady was so please I received this little note…….

I absolutely love my new tote and pouch 😊
Thank you it’s very well made and is already in use
It is definitely a talking point
I will remember you in the future for more purchases and recommend you to friends and family
Kind regards…

A wonderful result to make a creative crafter very happy!!!

Whilst on my jolly jaunt to source the Duck Egg Blue, I succumbed to purchase a little ‘Scottie’ Print cotton fabric as well ~ couldn’t resist! SO…

And then…..

If you want a conversation starter…this is a good starter!!

Moving swiftly through the rest of my week…………

Owl Burgundy Origami Tote (3)

I had enough ‘Owl’ fabric left to then combined it with a rich burgundy cotton for the lining for another unique tote creation….check it out……….

…Do you know how difficult it is to fashion Peg Dolls with full length Culottes ??? LOL ~ wish my garden was that tidy btw!!!

 

Ducks daisys pb (1)

Another little cutie ~ I hope the little fluffy at the back can keep up!!!?!!!

Owl Skewed Mat Set (1)

A change of direction from the previous week’s makes…. having some ‘owl’ fabric left over from the commission and a selection of 8 inch squares hanging around for no apparent reason ~ I combined the two ~ into a simply colourful duo Place Mat Set…

Exciting developments to the 2016 Peg Bags ;-)

After posting just a couple of days ago with some more new Peg Bag designs, I suddenly remembered about a small box of Peg Doll Key-rings I had stored away which I made for craft fairs. No longer able to participate in the strenuous long days of fairs, I decided it would be a shame to let them just lie in the box! So, I have plans to make them a new feature on my cute quirky Peg Bags 🙂 This, being the first one created today!

A little imagination, some snippets of felt, buttons, beads and a little hand sewing, plus the addition of something new and creative to my original, unique peg bag designs, a little hand knitted outfit for a common wooden clothes peg (actually knitted on artists paint brushes, as I was too lazy to search out my grandma’s needles lol) The little peg doll keyring is simply attached by a few threads and can be removed if so wished, making it a two for one bargain A cute Posh Peg Pouch and a Key Ring Fob!! Plus……the new owner has the opportunity to create a little face for the doll ~ triple bonus ;-D

Trying to keep up with WordPress over the last couple of weeks has been hard. I have been SEW busy!!! As a result, I haven’t been able to visit blogs I follow quite as often as I would have liked, for which I apologise.

Over the last weeks, I have been creating new picture designs for my unique posh peg bags/pouches, cutting a mountain of little pieces of felt and hand-stitching them in place. Each and every one I have made (and will make in the future) is different – no two will ever be the same, making them all the more special for the purchasers.

Without even having had time to upload them before now here on WordPress, and only a day up on my Etsy shop, some are already winging their way to washing lines across the UK. It really is a case of ‘‘If you like the one you see – get it quick!’‘ As it won’t ever be reproduced exactly the same again.

It really is peg bag season, a couple of days of warmer winds and some sun seems to have gotten the whole world looking for peg bags! And, I’m very proud of my designer (fully lined and with a little wooden hanger) peg bags and their handmade quality. So well made and unique, they are made to last for you for years (As long as your jealous neighbour doesn’t take a shine to it and sneakily remove it from your line!) My fingers are down to the last layer of skin almost, but I love making them, I just don’t ever want to seem to stop (but that’s me all over – why stop at one?)…as you will see below 🙂
