This weekend we went to stay with my partners family (the death was on their side). This involves a couple of hours on a train either way so I thought I might try sewing the time away. Meaning that hurriedly on Friday I made this bag so that I could take my sewing with me one the train. I absolutely adore the fabric it’s made from! Whilst I was at the station and embroidering away I did get a few strange looks…
I also squeezed in time to make a pins and needle case (my first project with a press stud!):
Then over the weekend I managed to buy a zip so I could make this purse using a tutorial from the lovely paper-and-string (my first project with a zip!):
It was really easy to make and the tutorial was wonderfully clear and straightforward! I’ve got lots of ideas running round my head for ways to develop and modify the idea – I just need to buy some more zips!!
Then when we finally arrived back to our lovely home this was waiting for me:
Containing this beautiful necklace from this etsy shop which unfortunately is currently not selling things (I think the seller is moving house!) but should be up and running in May!
So overall the weekend was productive but tiring.
Foodwise:
Friday was pizza
Saturday was meal out
Sunday was steamed potatoes with steamed salmon and parsley sauce
Tonight is beanburgers and chilli garlic roast potatoes using the left over potatoes from yesterday
Tomorrow night is sweet potato curry (do you sense we get stuck in a rut with our food?)
