Finally finished May's Folksy challenge.....my Jubilee bag!

OK - so maybe I'm a few weeks behind everyone else, but I've finally finished my Jubilee messenger bag and I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. I'm not sure I can quite bring myself to part with it, but it's already attracted quite a bit of interest so hopefully it will sell quite quickly.

I really enjoyed the challenge of making the Union Jack and using a slight twist on the traditional colours. I'm thinking a tangerine and turquoise Union Jack next maybe??? (no idea why this bit of text is highlighted white!!!)

This months Folksy challenge is Wimbledon. Have a few ideas, but haven't started yet (no surprises there!)

Not that this month's rain has been getting me down but.....I've started thinking about winter. Hubby has just taken delivery of one of these cute little woodburning stoves in baby blue - I'm thinking it might be time we had a change in our lounge. I just can't resist the unusual colour.

And maybe if I get a new wood burning stove now that will be a good way to guarantee a heatwave for the next few months! Why not pop over to Handmade Monday to see what everyone else has been up to.

PS. For those of you who asked on my last post about what an ironing friend was.....it's a small cushion that you can insert into corners and other tricky areas. It means you can iron your bag after it's finished being assembled. I've not heard it called an ironing friend, but it has a nice ring to it doesn't it!?
