A couple of things..

You remember the post I made about the raffle to help Daisy dog with her operation....well she is doing just fine, this is the bag I made as one of the raffle prizes.



















I hope whoever wins it, likes it.

Some friends and I recently had a sewing day together. I gathered all my leftover scraps of fabric, that were really too small do do anything much with..and I set about making this bag.



















You can make one too. The destructions are on this blog....

I have had them printed out for absolutely ages, so I was pleased to finally get around to making it. i made mine slightly bigger, it measures 15.5inches tall by 12 inches wide, and each handle is 21 inches long.

Oh and I also added a simple rectangular pocket inside mine too.

Since making it I have had 3 people ask where they could buy it from. I love it when people do that lol

This week I felt the urge to make a mermaid page in my journal...so I did.















It is mostly neocolours and white acrylic, but there is also a lot of stamping with navy stazon. 3-4 layers of stamping with colours over the top, they really don't show well on camera, especially in the sea area.
