Something New...

I recently brought my self a new lap top. Its pretty exciting, but the thing I'm most excited about is that I got to make a new bag for it. I'm really proud of this bag I think Its the most well thought out thing I've ever made. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. The fabric is from IKEA, I've had it for a while now. I knew I had to use it for something special because I love it so much. I also lined it with denim and padded it with quilt batting. The only problem I had with it was that at some parts it got so chunky I had to hand sew on the handles.

A summer rundown.

I've really been enjoying summer this year I'm not really a summer person but I'm really trying this year. So far I've been to the beach (I really got burnt, but I'm not going to dwell on that), had a go at some gardening, reading some really great books and sewing lots of nice things. I hope everyone is enjoying the summer.

A McCranky Apron!

This is an apron Claire made the other day, I think it is really lovely with its orange and yellow tones, and just the other day we dropped of a heap more at mikes, which is always nice, and there not all orange which is good too. Unfortuantely though at the moment Claire is having machine difficulities, and sewing has come to a slight hault, I think we need to do some extreme op-shoping and make a really good op-shop wish, so we can get a new one, a prettier one just like Kootoyoo.

This is...What I do with a spare 10 minutes!

When I have a few spare minuets I usually spend it daydreaming. Not very practical I know, but I think it's a very important part of my creative process. I most like to daydream about sewing and fabric but I also like to daydream about cooking and eating and blogging.

The picture has nothing to do with my daydreaming but I really like it, and wanted to share.
