A trip back in time

Having missed last weeks Handmade Monday I wasn't sure I'd manage it this week either! We had the mother-in-law to visit from Cornwall, so I wasn't sure I'd get any sewing done. But, in the end, I did manage to finish a few projects.

So, after a busy weekend which included a visit to the Black Country Living Museum and a trip to the nearby Crooked House pub...

 
 I finally managed to finish the autumn version of my tree bag, as well as a noticeboard for our kitchen.

At last Hubby doesn't have an excuse for leaving unopened mail on the kitchen worktop!

Just a tree....

....but it seems to have created a bit of a stir!

I bought this beautiful fabric from e-bay a while ago.

I knew whatever I made from it I wanted the fabric to be the main feature - it was just so beautiful. I spent quite a long time looking at it before I managed to bring myself to cut into it. But finally, the first bag in my 'Tree of Life' Collection (ooo, how grand does that sound) was born.

That's spring done - just summer and autumn to go now.....

Whilst you're waiting, why not head over to Handmade Monday which is celebrating it's first birthday.
