E is for... Sunday Snippets

Sunday again! Where does the week go to? Here is what I've been upto this week:

- Watching Downton Abbey. Tonight has been the last in the series and I'm sooo hoping there will be another because this has been the best thing on TV all year. Visually it is sumptuous, the characters are the perfect blend of real and interesting, and don't even get me started on the costumes.

- Playing with Photoshop Elements 9. I just found these photo overlays on the fantastic Pugly Pixel blog. I have downloader's finder from over use of this site this week, and teaching myself to do some great stuff with photoshop. I especially love the pretty vintage tape which I used to create my all new blog header.

- Making little purses using this tutorial from Flossie Teacakes. These will be gifts so I will keep the finished result a secret for now. The tutorial is easy to follow and I can see this being a much used pattern as Christmas approaches.

E is for... Creative or Criminal?

Checking up on the latest happenings on the Scoutie Girl blog this morning, my jaw nearly hit the desk when I saw this...

Rebound Designs

Friends of mine will tell you that alongside bunnies and chocolate, bags and books are two of my very favourite things. So imagine my surprise to see this range of bags constructed from the covers of my absolute favourite books! (My own collection has now reached a whole shelf full if you're interested)

Is this bag a work of genius or a crime against literature? I simply can't decide, but I know I really want to stroke it!
