Summer making

Well I think this will be last post of the holidays. I know there haven't been many but that must be the sign of a sunny or productive holiday - for once both.

Work is looming. A 9am test run today before real life resumes on Monday.

So besides enjoying lovely SUNNY Dorset what've I been doing?

Well making stuff mainly.


My top make has to be my 'Garden Birds' suitcase

I love making these and feel so on trend with birdies it's hardly me at all.

 A few suitcases have found themselves new homes or holidays this summer so I topped up with a couple of wallpapered ones too...

This one badly photographed by me in the late sun because I couldn't wait

and this one photographed rather nicely by my eldest jammer!

 
 

There have been a few bags thrown in there

  but I had a sudden urge to use up small pieces of fabric with 'Back to School' pencil cases.
 
 

 Funny how they all seem to be made in my favourite colours...

 

 The dresser I display my stock on at Custard Hall sold last week which was a bit of a surprise as I'd forgotten there was a price tag on it. I had visions of my stock in a heap on the floor but luckily I bought this one from a neighbour.

Some Annie Sloan French Grey and lovely new handles from Shy Violet and it was ready to go.

Now I'm just throwing in a couple of gratuitous shots of sunny Dorset because looking at all your holiday snaps I realise how lucky I am to live here.

 

Off for a last weekend trip to London again tomorrow whilst the train is SO cheap and favourite friends visiting on Sunday. 

Enjoy your last few days of Summer holidays.
