More Sewing!

I've had a busy couple of days but have ground to rather a halt today as I woke with a sore throat during the night and think I have succumbed to the dreaded lurgy as rather a lot of my students have been ill the last couple of weeks. I had hoped to avoid it, but with instrumental teaching and hence a lot of 'blowing' ahem... breathing going on, one does tend to be in the firing line so to speak. I'm starting to feel heavy headed and achy as well so I have started to tidy up in case tomorrow is a right off. I also need to tidy up as we are having a visitor tomorrow as well and I don't want to give the wrong impression now do I?

So while the weather has been good today I thought I would pop outside to take some photos of my latest makes.

My heart hanger and some lavender hearts. Yes I know you have probably seen these ones, but not in an outdoor setting!


A heart basket I picked up from a charity shop today - perfect for displaying the hearts.

Some cosmetic purses finished last night.

A floral shopping bag

Detail of an applique flower on the front pocket.

Inside pocket with another applique flower.

Handbag made with vintage fabrics and buttons.

Removable matching flower brooch.

Inside pocket.

Another Autumn brooch.

Oh and of course the day couldn't have been complete without me managing to collect yet more conkers on my walk with hubby and the dogs!

I had to nip into the road to rescue this one!

Today's collection - five more! Gotta love conkers.
