dreaming of summer

....when i can use this bag for our beachy stuff. The colours are so happy and sunny. I managed to snag myself quite a bit of the lovely turquoise Sanderson material. A bit much on it's own but lovely for lining. Spring has definitely sprung on this bag, I was feeling all twirly ! I'll probably experiment with some more of these. Love the shape at last....not exactly a radical new shape for a bag but I wanted to do this from scratch and toyed with a few sketches until this one felt right. I'm liking the plain canvas background too, giving me lots of scope to twirl away to my hearts delight with the machine !
It's taken me a while to finish up due to my lovely little distractions here...poor Lily just getting over her spots and Maddie clingy and generally a bit under par..... ominous spots keep appearing then coming to nothing, who knows what is going on..
Hence, an afternoon trip to the (cold) beach is in order if only to give them a bit of fresh air for an hour (and me...I'm feeling just a tad housebound and grumpy). Lil is packing the sarnies as we speak, just a flask of the now compulsory hot chocolate to go in. Mustn't forget the knitting too although I never seem to get any done down there.....live in hope eh....

Oh I do hope you two girls feel better soon - I remember when my 2 boys had chickenpox - housebound! Mmm, hot chocolate and sarnies on a beach, how lovely I hope you manage to get some knitting done. I will be thinking of you.Kathyx

Fabulous bag - the colours of the lining remind me of a David Hockney 'swimming pool' painting.

Great bag.You are right,that material is perfect for the lining and I just adore the bird on the front. Lovely colors.
I hope fun was had at the beach.We keep having snippets of spring here but I dare not get excited just yet.
