Little purse

Look what arrived today from a vineyard in the south of France:

a sweet little purse. I love it.

I will use it everyday from now on, thanks Julia.

There is still time for you to win too, go and pay Julia a visit and try your luck as I did.

I stayed up very late last night, working on my first Linnet bag.

Now, don’t get me wrong, it is a lovely shaped bag,

but it has a circular base and tapered sides and lining

and it was way past midnight

and I found it all rather challenging.

Challenging as in, I had to unpick it three times.

So, on reflection (and in a rare act of self- preservation) I have decided to only make one Linnet bag and the other ‘planned bag recipients’ will just have to make do with two rectangles sewn together!

    oh the bliss of making a decision!

    I feel certain two rectangles sewn together will be just as fabulous!

    I wondered about making that bag but if you find it hard I had better stick to the 2 rectangles aswell!
