Thank Yous, Grandson and Bags...

First of all, Thank you to all those who commented on my last couple of posts. I had saved the comment notifications to email you all individually as soon as I got a chance, but over the last 2 days, my gmail has been freezing when trying to send. Wayne also thanks you for those lovely comments on his book. :)

What have I been doing? Well I have been doing
*tax preparation :(
*Minding my Grandson while his Mum does Uni assignments :))


Hello Mummy. I'm having a really good time playing with Nana and Pa.


Nana doesn't really need these pegs. I'll just fill my bucket.



* and making 2 bags - one of which will be chosen by a friend for her birthday pressie from her Hubby. :)

I have not made the straps as yet, as she wants the strap to go across her body. The one she doesn't choose, will be for me (at last! A bag made by me, for me! lol) and I want a much shorter strap.
I honestly don't know which one I hope she doesn't choose! LOL



Bag #1 from a pattern by Nicole Mallalieu ("Panel Bag")

Bag inside out - pockets on one side
The lining is actually a lovely pale patterned beige, not quilter's muslin or calico as it looks here. 


Bag inside out - phone pocket with extra stiffening
(I don't know why this ended up sideways. The photo wasn't! lol)




Bag #2 based on a pattern I purchased from BeBeBold a couple of years ago, with design alterations by me.


Bag inside out - one side



Bag inside out other side


It's been a great 10 days for me! I do have lots of blogs and such to catch up on though. ;)
