Sometimes I get cross with myself that I don't seem to get around to doing certain things but writing this out makes me realise I don't have much spare time. But I'd rather be like this than bored, or wasting time.

Anyway enough words and time for some pictures.

At the quilt show I tried to get some fabric to make a new bag but the type of fabric I wanted wasn't there. Well whilst sitting having a cuppa I saw a woman also having a drink and she was wearing a jacket. It was at this point that I had a brainwave! Some years ago at my sons wedding I wore a hideous pink jacket. I bought it because I just couldn't seem to find anything better to wear. But this jacket has just been hanging in the wardrobe ever since then. Think I'm not grown up enough to wear a jacket. But I could utilise this jacket by converting it into a bag.

So here I am - this was the only photograph of me to be found. Guess this says everything about how awful it was!






























BUT WAIT FOR IT  ------------------- DRUM ROLL PLEASE

The front of the bag is made up with the 2 front panels of the jacket. I cut the lapels off and used them as a kind of collar for the bag. Added a few buttons for decor, also kept the lining for the inside of the bag. The straps were made from the sleeves and the zip I got from an old dress which had a stain. So now this sad old jacket has got a new lease of life.

Next picture ----- from the craft group. This one lady came in with a box of granny squares, amazing.

This lady crochets at the most amazing speed. She had 2 blankets in the making. The one in view was from her grandsons crib and now her daughter wants it to be made larger ready for her baby's cot. The rest of the 500! squares are to go on a single bed for her daughter but I think she has another 500 to crochet!

I can't show you what I made last night, as it is a surprise for my daughter so will show you after she's received it.

Well it's nearly 11pm and I have to be up at 6am to go to work - so good night all.
