HAPPY WITH IT.

Well.. it took a few days, but I finally got my latest project finished.

I've made a few before, but not for what feels like a very long time.

ABOVE: A 'Stay Open Bag'.  Named for it's ability to stay open so you can find your stuff in it!

I had planned on renaming it something else, like the 'Cute' bag, but really, it's a Stay Open Bag!
I'm going to try selling some on my stall next month.

Now... today?
No bloody idea!  It's supposed to be wet, so probably not doing anything outside.

Not sure If I feel like making another bag yet.
But I will at least sort out the fabrics for the next one I think.

If anyone wants the one above, it's $60 (NZ) + postage.

Right, I'm off to make the bed, get showered and dressed and then decide what to do with the day.

ONWARD... 

Got a bee in my bonnet when I got up... and had to move some stuff ...

 ABOVE:  We have this rug on the family room floor, to protect the carpet from traffic lines.

But, there is one place that really needed protecting more:

 ABOVE:  This traffic way from out the back into the Family/Kitchen/Dining room. OMG it is getting so dirty!  So, I moved the rug.  Well ... I moved 90% of the furniture, then Stew helped me with the rug.

ABOVE:  All done.  Best photo of the day, his nibs doing the last bit of vacuming for me.

Don't worry, he didn't have to do it all!  I'm not a slave driver.  He got to sleep in till after 9 am!

After that, I decided to make something small and quick, something I've not made before:

ABOVE:  The CUTEST little fabric 'bin'.  I love it, and will certainly be making more of them, in various sizes I think. It only took a couple of hours... and I am bound to get faster now that I've made the pattern.  Which is simple as.

Time to stop for lunch, I'm starving!  (it's 1.20 pm)

Quiet afternoon.  Feeling sick as a dog.  Upped my Metformin (blood tests results were bad).
The smell of food is turning my stomach.  Ikkk.

Signing off... might start something else in the sewing room later, depends how I feel.
