I have made and listed this Purple and Pink Tea Cosy in my Folksy Shop today. I am now working on another cosy this time with a different shade of purple and pink. I shall call this one Pink and Purple so its not confusing.

It has a pretty blue button and loop to close the bag.

It is fully lined with the flower pattern inside and two matching pockets. It has shoulder straps.

February and March

February and March has seen some good luck for our family.

In February my OH and myself went to see our family in Wales. Our daughter and her partner had generously bought us a car!!!! We thought we were going back by train we weren't expecting to drive back from Wales in our car! What a lovely surprise!!!!

In March I found out I'd won an Apple iPad 64gb from the Readers Digest prize draw!!! That was a lovely surprize. It will arrive in aprox 6 to 8 weeks.

I am busy again making a selection of bags and I am booking up to do craft fairs this year after the first one I did last year.  Velvety Orange is nearly finished ready to photograph and sell on Folksy.
