Workshop 5.2 Make a Zippy Bag

A fun night sewing with lovely ladies. Feeling blessed to have amazing ladies in my life all with a unique and fasinating story of their own. Thanks girls!

The winning craft item!

Today was craft stall number 2 and thankfully I sold something! In fact I almost sold out of fabric covered noticeboards...perhaps because I lowered the price from Tuesday!

In any case, Lj and I decided to celebrate with lunch in Starbucks. Lj loves going to a cafe and I love it too, although not necessarily with Lj! I don't mean to be mean but she is drawn to everything delicious on display and chooses all the expensive stuff. OK so most things in Starbucks are expensive but for example she wants the teeny tiny pot of fruit...£2.99. Now that would buy us a bunch of grapes, bananas and a bag of kiwis in Sainsburys. So we agree on one thing each and one to share.

I enjoy watching Lj sit and take her drink in the cafe but I have to be quick as it only lasts for two minutes and then she is showing every customer in the cafe her full tummy and is getting restless to move on and my skinny latte hasn't even cooled enough to start drinking.

Illustration inspired by Pop I cok and Quentin Blake. Mj and I are reading 'George's Marvellous Medicine' by Roald Dahl.

First craft stall of 2013

and another tomorrow!

This week...

I have been finishing off some crafts ready for our first Christmas craft fairs which begin next week.

MJ was invested as a Beaver Scout.

My new books have arrived...I'm sooo excited but am trying to keep them til next week when we go away for a few days.

Workshop 5.1 Make a Zippy Bag

Yesterday I was really looking forward to our sewing group in the evening and it did not disappoint! I'm surprised we got our Zippy bags made with all the chat and giggles. Well done girls...sorry if I have put you off zips for life!
