My creative space...

We're on holidays this week, relaxing by the beach and trying to get healthy after a bout of a seasonal change virus. I've got an ear infection, and now have a temporary hearing impairment on one side, so we are still taking it easy and resting up. I had hoped to get the shop update done last weekend, but it just didn't happen with all the sickness, lack of sleep and toddler clingyness. Every time I sat down at the machine I had a little person crying at my knees...sigh. But never mind, we're on the mend, so shop update still coming!

Here are a few images of a bag I recently completed for my Mum a few weeks back. I used the Ava bag pattern from Grand Revival and found it pretty good. I'm not convinced about the fabric I chose, but I'm yet to see what Mum thinks.  She likes a nice subtle print as well as versatility so I hope it works for her.

Enjoy your Thursday folks, and of course enjoy more creativity over here.
