Denim Blue

I made and listed this today in my Folksy shop. You can buy unique handmade bags from me at a fraction of the price than from the high street shops. This is made with denim and pretty blue and white material. I top stitched the darts in white to match the bag after first unpicking the beige colour. I am really pleased with this bag. It has two slim shoulder straps and a big pretty metalic button. It has calico for stability with a yellow and white pattern lining and two denim pockets.

Multicolour iPad Case

.I made this iPad case today and added a cotton lining which is doubled to give extra support. This is knitted in acrylic dk which I also doubled. I made it for my new iPad 3 64gb which I won in a prize draw with The Readers Digest.

My New iPad and Labels Arrived Today!

Today I got my new labels! They have a pink background with my shop name and a needle and cotton motif in a Sea Foam Green colour.

Today I received my new Apple iPad! I won it in a Prize Draw with The Readers Digest. I should have got it in May but it was worth the wait. Now I have to find out what the password is for it to be able to use it!

I have started to crochet a new bag today using a crocodile stitch that I just learnt it can also be called scales stitch.  The colours I chose are are purple, blue, turquoise.

One strap to two!

I changed the bag Orange Fizzy, which is a reddish orange colour, from one strap to two and changed the button from a grey colour, which I thought looked good at the time, to this sparkly striped one that is the perfect match. The bag looks really good now!
