Birthday wishes...

On Saturday morning I was inspired to make a birthday present for a 4 year old.  Using the ooshka babushka face my daughter & I set to work.

I used some of the fabric from my Sew-it Together sample bag.  Perfect for the job.  It was well-received on Saturday arvo!

Another birthday, another bag!

The denim from the Fabric Store worked well for this.  (It was going to be for a quilt but not soft enough really) I do love the way the prints highlight against the denim.  I think I might have to make another of these to keep!

We love bags!

I have a 9 year old daughter who seems to have lots of friends.  Who have birthdays.  So I've started making bags for them (after some initial help from KT!).  If I'm particularly tardy with them I like to add a bit of Audrey sweetness (love these books!)  Bronte thinks bags are a bit old hat now- what should I do next?!

I suppose I could at least branch out and do a different style!!

Faceless & Nameless....

Sometimes we can all feel a bit like that. 
However we must remember that tomorrow is another day and  it is a transient state of affairs.

This little boy was made from Jodie's pattern after much encouragement (read hassling) by my eldest daughter in the school holidays.  Unfortunately he has been faceless & nameless for more than a day but there are plans ahead...

(And he is loved already in any case)
