Last night the sunset was a bit odd, like a long streak of light.

Darren and I went to the boot sale this morning, had the usual sausage sandwich and cup of tea and then started to look around. I managed to keep going for a good half of the stalls then went back to the car. Bought a book as I had forgotten to take one with me today. I had bought a few buttons and an old pair of shears, which we need for the garden. When Darren came back he had got me a little footstool for me to use while I sit at the computer desk. It is just right and really soft too, feels like luxury sitting here now!
The begonias that I planted a week or so ago have started to go slightly green now, rather that white and are growing.
I got an offcut of really lovely material at the sewing centre yesterday and started some more book bags last night, have managed to make three out of the fabric, using some of the material I got at the boot sale last week for the lining.
While I was in the sewing mood I thought I would make a draw string bag for Isobel. When I was down last we saw some owl material, I told her I had some at home and would make her something with it. Tine to keep my promise. I had to sort of make it up as I went along, but I think she will like it to keep some of the little character toys she collects in when she is out and about.

Think that is enough sewing for today, can always watch football for a while!

  1. Love the little footstool. That was a good find by Darren. He definitely thinks of you sometimes, and you should give him a big hug, if you can catch him :-)
    I like the new book bags, that's a good material for them. You really do have an eye for a good pattern. It would seem Isobel does too, as I think the owl material is lovely. I think she'll adore that bag!

  2. I am sending two of the new bags to Michelle, for her and Julie. Have a few for the bazaar now. I think the little bag is cute, so hopefully, as you say, Isobel will love it;
