I made this quick one hour bag using some Globaltex fabric, above photo is the front and below is the back.
Couldn't resist this bright, simple flower fabric, it was only £3.45 a metre and thought it would make a fun tote. I bought some with a pink background as well, Lily chose it so I'm going to make a duvet cover for her with it, pictures to follow eventually.
Another Globltex fabric was used to make a runner for my kitchen table.
And some really simply quilted coasters, did I mention I was bored on Friday, hence the sewing spurt.
A peg bag to match my carrier bag holder.
I made Lily these two skirts the first one was cut from the hem of a very large, 20p, skirt from a jumble sale.
A skirt for the beach.
I know I shouldn't but she was so cute and only £1.
A pretty rose plate, the rim is really a very bright turqouise that you can't see in this photo.
Some more brooches and pins.
Two Royal Albert moonlight rose mugs.
Another picture, yet more frame painting to do!
I went to a 30p book sale on Saturday and got these, first some gardening books.
I bought this one for the illustrations, so sweet.
Fab Twinkle annuals.
Fairy tales to add to my collection that I started after doing a storytelling course.
and more children's books.
I spotted this one just up the road from my house isn't she so cute?
I bought this to keep the flies away when we have barbecues but it didn't get used this weekend.
Didn't dry my washing either!

You've got lots of lovely finds there, and yes the doll was too cute to pass up. Love the bag in the first pic perfect for summer.
I recognise some of those books. i bet they are still in my parents attic! Hope all is well with you. Been a bit wet this past week hasn't it?
