E is for... Easter

Easter Sunday has arrived. A day for eating chocolate and watching films on the TV. Sadly easter eggs in my apartment are thin on the ground, and there is far too much work to be done for watching TV. Recovering from a weekend of entertaining guests and celebrating the pilot's birthday is number one on the to-do-list.

Nonetheless I wanted to catch up in the blog world before I disappear for a quick holiday tomorrow, and post a quick picture of my latest bag adventure. Made from a Laura Ashley odds bin find, I put this together to hold all my other bits of fabric. Increasing the dimensions of earlier attempts, and adapting a little for the fact that this is made from thick upholstery fabric, this was a bit of a trial and error attempt but I feel it has come out fairly well. I still need to practise on making my lines a little less wonky, but hopefully practice will make perfect. I am especially proud of this bag's special feature, which is the flower made from my exciting find of a roll of vintage bus tickets. I love the little "go by bus" logo printed on the back!

Thinking about my word for the year, rediscover, I am happy to think that tomorrow I'm off to sunnier climes to practice my sailing skills. Please keep your fingers crossed for sunshine for me! Wishing you a happy Easter.
