Itty this and bitty that

Time is flying
Time to pack for a train ride
(Can you guess what I'll be making? Answer at the bottom of the post!)

Time for three of us to sew on the journey

A big day out courtesy of the train offer

The littlest jammer's first trip to London

 Back in Dorset
Café time whilst the Granny visits the Grandad in hospital.

Time for sisters to visit, and cousins and friends

 Been filling our days with bits and bobs

 and evenings with sewing

and messing around with this Instagram thingy

(I'm jellyjamellie if you want to take a peak)

 I can feel the holidays galloping away.

Once we've got past the half way mark there's no going back.

Work is beckoning

Luring me back

 

But still a bit of time left for the other makes and days out on my list.
Hope you're all having a lovely summer
xXx

The big smoke and more bags

I've been away longer than I anticipated and I'm going to blame it on the weather! After all, what's a making post without any photos? Well today I looked at the forecast for tomorrow (rain all day) and decided the photoshoot would have to be an indoor gloomy affair. So apologies for the images.

 

After all your positive feedback on my winter bags I decided to whip up some more. They've taken a while but here they are...

Another in the lovely alpine fabric because I kept the first and have taken your advice and used it every day! Of course you were right, it's not too early, I just wasn't feeling Christmassy - see I've said it now. Anyway that weather forecast is mentioning snow next week.

 really old cowboys

 and mid century magic.

I'm going to pop them in my Etsy shop for the time being then take them to Mrs Darling's Christmas Fayre next Saturday and see how they go down.

Earlier this week I got a rare day to myself in London. Reading her blog I narrowly missed Vintage Jane and my evening photos are going to look very similar to hers!

This market was shut but I had to get a photo of the semi 2CV.

A visit to the Tate to see the Pre Raphaelites topped off a lovely day.

Back soon with loads more making ready for next weekend.

Just hope the sun shines on Sunday as promised.
