Too Wit Too Woo

I just added this Owl Bag Tote to Folksy Shop Crafty Bags today.

I love the crafts and bags with an owls and I thought I'd make an owl bag tote.

I machine stitched a cream cotton material that I thought would be a good match for the body and eye shapes and added felt stitching it to the bag then a zigzag stitch to secure it.

I lined the bag in orange and a lime green cotton and added pockets.

I am really pleased with how it's turned out!

I have started to make a crochet cushion.

I've made a few squares using a puff stitch. It is easy and I will make a cushion, or two. I have quite a bit of wool left and may use it all.

Blogtoberfest #31: Luxury Mohair Hat and Scarf

It says Luxury Mohair on the brand label so that's what I called my hat and scarf set.
I didn't know how best to display the hat then I thought of the pack of balloons I have and luckily there was a white one. It makes a good hat model!

Blogtoberfest #27 My Pop up Shop was a success!

These are a few photographs of my pop up shop today at my home. A few villagers turned out and all bought something and we had tea, coffee and cakes. I just missed getting it advertised in the local paper but still sold three bags, four mobile phone sleeves and a flowered cushion!

My items looked so nice arranged around the house, it looked like a real shop and wouldn't they look good in a real shop too!
