yes, I succumbed..

To another swap. This time it is a bag swap.I was intrigued. The theme of the swap is a tote bag, but, black, white plus one other colour. When entering you could state three possible alternative colours..

I cannot remember which colours I put down for my preferences, but I have started thinking about my partner's preferences... I put up this picture..

and folk generally seem reasonably happy with them.. so now I get to sort the rest of the details out!

I wonder which colours I asked for? hmmm

World book day

Remember this?

Well, some schools have the children dress up, some have the teachers...

I did promise more pictures, and here they are-







my dressed up lass has requested, no face in the picture- sorry, because it is a lovely face-

She was Arwen from Lord of the Rings..


and the dress suits her so well...


I hope she will get use from it for years to come.

Fresh sewing day

Well, it is a while since I joined in with this, but here is a sample of what February brought

not the most productive month ever, but not too bad, I think!

a five minute project..

My daughter wanted a lanyard. just a simple round the neck, with a lobster clasp on the end, to take a card holder she uses at school. But,  could she have a pretty one please?

Well, there is no trick to one of these.. and, perhaps it did take a little more than 5 minutes, especially if you include the time taken to audition the options..

I think that should do it!

It started as 31" long by 2" wide, and turned into this nice and quick!
