rosy apple bag

new bags being put on etsy and my website are.................................. rosy apple bag, i love the apple and the frame that surrounds it, so so cute, i was very inspired by a lovely mug that i bought recently, i have a pic of it but it doesn't do it it any justice, so i will take another and post it................... i am also loving this washed grey linen that i bought recently ( 4 metres so expect alot of goodies made from it)

the other bag to go on etsy and my website is miss bet lynch ( i loved bet has a child, such an inspiration !) the leopard fur is so lovely, it is a very short but dense fur ( it broke 2 needles on my machine whilst making it...........while i always say my crafts are always made with love......well not so sure about this one...........made with stress i would say..........but eh, it has turned out lovely and goes so well with the pink lining and vintage button, in fact i have a lovely leopard coat from new look which has the same pink lining.

i have quite a few more bags to post but they will done over the next few days...........................

3 posts in 3 consecutive days..........amazing........

so looking forward to christmas shopping tomorrow.................and seeing the huge outdoor ice rink that they are putting in leicester city centre tomorrow...........can't wait to try it out with the rest of the family, which we will be doing over christmas !!
