What a beautiful week brilliant sunshine and warm even ventured out without a coat! Had to have 2 radiators replaced last week thank goodness for British Gas Homecare contract, cost zilch!
In between the hindrance of the good weather have felt an inkling to Paris maybe it is the thought of Spring, found this fabric and it just spoke to me, so my first offering a small framed bag with diamante heart and ribbon rose, simple but I hope quite pretty.
Then onto something a bit bigger another bag in a vintage style again had to add a diamante heart but also felt this one lent itself to a bow and rose.
Paris in the Pink
Just loved this fabric and thought the butterfly added that certain something
Rose Corner Frame Bag
Again another Sonia Showalter embroidery design this time a rose corner and had to use my new fabric an oatmeal linen
More Angels this time for our fur babies for a cat or dog lover.

Victorian Shabby Chic Rose Bag
Another new linen piece of fabric arrived this week with Victorian style labels printed all over along with this beautiful shabby chic rose trim.
Penny Farthing Wash Bag
Carrying on from the theme last week as per Wendy's suggestion something for the men, will be sourcing some fabric to make more of these but wanted to test the design, lined with waterproof fabric. This pattern way sadly is from my every increasing stash of fabric and not available now.
Blissful Bathtime Door Pillow
A fun bathing beauty design added to a door pillow
On top of al that have made another pair of PJ bottoms and a kaftan top for myself.
Next week white silk, roses, lace and swans?
Slightly off post I spent some time this weekend realising that I have a good life, doing what I want to every day. A fantastic husband who has enabled me to live my dreams and a beautiful dog who is my constant companion as well as being the comic relief when needed. A bff who is always there when I need shoulder to cry on although a distance away we email at least once a week if not more and she bothered to ring me as she thought I sounded down, what a perfect friend. Life is good and not sure can get much better and for that I am eternally grateful.
Great new items Carol, love the Paris theme.
ReplyDeleteThink we all need to be counting our blessings sometimes.
Good weather a hindrance? Perhaps in that the temptation is to be outside in the sunshine rather than inside crafting. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely set of makes. I think it's a privilege to be self-employed doing something you love. Lots of people never have that opportunity. x
ReplyDeleteThe Paris bag with the rose and the Victorian inspired one are to die for - I love them.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bags - love the larger Paris and Victorian ones in particular.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I don'tknow where to start. Those bags are to die for and the pennyfarthing wash bag is nice and roomy, can't stand those not big enough for your toothbrush. Love the bath cushion too, very cheeky. lol.
