Suitcases

My husband and I have a certain attraction to old cardboard suitcases ,how can one explain a particular "love"? The fact is we have quite a collection now, used for storage they are actually quite practical!

Which brings me to the fact that they were looking a little tired and boring UNTIL...... the splendid idea to cover them in lovely silk paper came to my mind!!!

Here in photo are the results of just two fine specimans. Hope you enjoy!

Changing Bags for.............................. dolls!!!!

Look what I've been doing!!!

It all started when my younger daughter , a baby freak , decided that she needed a bag to put all her baby hmmm (doll) stuff together when she's out and about! You know what all good , caring and prepared mums' tend to carry around with them when they have a "baby". We're talking nappies , bottles, extra change for accidents etc.

So what does the mum of a" mum " do in time of need? She gets sewing!!! Well then older daughter needed one and then freind of a freind and a freind of the freind needed one! Which basically means I'm getting pretty good at making these!

A couple of them will be in my Etsy shop this week-end if you know some little person who needs to put their "baby" stuff in order!!!!
