Sadly, before wrapping, the weather was less than considerate of blogging photographs, but you get the gist...
The Open Wide pouch is definitely my new favourite make, and with a little embroidery for the birthday ballet-girl, it was a complete hit, especially when filled with chocolate coins.
And whilst quietness prevailed this afternoon, I basted, quilted and attached the binding to the secret commission quilt. I am looking forward to hand-finishing the binding in front of the TV tonight. The heating has been on all day and cosy stitching is definitely needed.
We didn't get any snow unlike some, but I think temperatures peaked at a dizzy 7 degrees! I hope everyone is suitably attired, (flannel 'jamas for me), and comfortably crafting this weekend xxx
Love the purse!! Knee socks, blanket and Daniel Craig (James bond on tv sadly, not under the blanket) for me, stay warm and have a lovely weekend. Sarah

ReplyDeleteWell you wanted cold dry weather and sounds like you are in cozy crafting heaven. The ballerina pouch is cute but not as adorable as your girls...sorry, princesses.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo of your girls! If my girls see that ballerina fabric they will go bonkers. Do you have the name of it? This could earn me some serious brownie points.
ReplyDeleteAs ever your Twinnie princesses steal the show! Great .ittle pouch, of course it's a roaring success, they know how brilliant you are! Yep heating on here, 4.5 degrees max today, and pj's snugly dressing gown and cozy slippers all deployed! Stay warm!

ReplyDeleteI had to go out twice yesterday, walking both time, in the wind and the sleet: not fun. But after that I had a day very similar to you! Best kinda day when the weather is horrid. Love the purse, I need to make one of those
ReplyDeleteWhat a pair of cuties! Hmmm, I'm thinking toasted marshmallows in front of the fire tonight! Wanna come? Jxo
ReplyDeleteGorgeous girls and a gorgeous pouch!
ReplyDeleteI love the practical princess wear of satin & thermals. They look like butter wouldn't melt.
ReplyDeleteI was promised snow!! All I got was cold & wet :( but at least I got to crack out the cashmere :)
