Hello again, where did that week go ? seemed to fly by even quicker, I suppose because Miss V had a non pupil day on Monday Anyway on my last post I said about I was going to a Jamie at Home party
it was quite good, there were a lot of expensive things there but some more which wern't too bad at all.
I ordered some great little storage jars, you know the glass ones with ceramic lids and a sort of clip to keep the lid on, I will show you when they arrive.
I have at last been doing some more sewing, I have a fair booked next Friday. It seemed ages away when I booked it but they creep up fast.
I have some great new fabric with initials and flower fairies on- so far I have made some gift bags. Backed with floral fabric and gingham ribbon handles.
Some more initial fabric made up into lavender bags. I did rotate the photo but its still sideways for some reason !
Some assorted mini gift bags with ribbon ties, some are in Christmas fabrics and ribbons
some with Thank you Teacher ribbon and some just pretty.
I have also made some cushions but they are not quite finished.
Just ordered some paper carrier bags on Ebay in case I sell some and I need to wrap them somehow.
When the fair is over I will be listing some of my makes on my Ebay and I may even open a blog shop !
I have so many things to list on Ebay I must get cracking soon
I must go soon as dinner ladying all this week - not very tempting in this drizzle
This morning I bought a Christmas magazine
and in the charity shop - guess what .......................... a Radley purse !! £1.50
Off to see some fireworks tonight
Have a great weekend and welcome to my new followers
Love Sue x

Gosh, Sue, there's so much to love in this post. The gift bags and the lavender bags are gorgeous - and the purse - what a brilliant bargain. Enjoy the fireworks.
ReplyDeleteI know just the jars you mean from Jamie at Home as that is what I bought when I went to one - just about the cheapest thing there, I think!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the fireworks.
Love all your makes, Sue. I don't suppose you have a Zinnia Flower Fairy bag do you?
