THREE IN ONE DAY

 

Yesterday I had no intention of making THREE Tote Bags.  

But I did.

And I'm really happy with all of them.  Two 'non animal' ones, and a cat one.

When it's light enough outside I'll take a photo of the third one, that I got finished last night.

Normally I do not sew after about 6 pm, because that is when Stew gets home from work, and I like to spend my evenings with him.

But, while he's home all day recovering from his surgery, we get to spend plenty of time together, so I am not feeling guilty working later into the evening. 

Today's plans?  I'm sure another bag or two will get made. Unless Stew can come up with another idea for the day.

I'm not averse to getting out and about ... shopping even?  So, I'll leave it up to Stewie.

ONWARD...


ABOVE:  Weird how I am no fan of Yellow, but I am loving this bag.  It's bright and cheerful.

My next 2-3 are going to be a bit smaller, but not child sized.  I am not inclined to make kids bags.

I made small zippered pouches, and they don't do well.  They might be the next thing I start giving away during markets in fact.

Our weather today is wet, there's been some huge rainfalls further north of us.  Weather warnings in place and so on.  Hopefully there's not too many slips/road closures like our last stormy period.


ABOVE:  first bag of the day, a colour combo Bex suggested.  I thought a White Bag might be a silly idea (it will get dirty quicker?), but WOW, it's lovely.  Of course.  😂😅

I am now taking a little break... I'll make another one after lunch.  

4.36 pm, and well, my little break lasted for hours!   I even had a midday nap.

I've got the next bag lined up for tomorrow.

For now, we are going out shortly.  I'm dropping Stew off at the put, then visiting the kids for an hour or so.  Then I'm going to join Stew at the pub.

We shall be having dinner there tonight.  Something really simple, not too heavy.


8.10 pm and we are home from the pub.  We had a very enjoyable evening.  I spent some time with the kids (always enjoyable), then joined Stew for dinner.

ABOVE: We both had a 'Flaggies' burger.  It was really good.  Just like a home made one, with everything in it.  Such good value for money too.

Home now, and we are blobbing out in front of the telly till bedtime.

Tonight I am going to lock Coco out of the room I'm sleeping in.  She kept me awake for hours last night, sniffing, snorting, itching, licking and generally just being a bloody pain in the arse.

I have put her bed in the lounge, and I'll be closing my door so she can't come in and lie down beside me.  

If it's not Stew, it's the freakin' dog!

Here's to a good nights sleep.

Catch ya tomorrow.

    Love the black and white bag. They all look beautiful. Stew would have been happy to get back and see his pub mates. Kj
