more February Makes

Heather over at Pink Milk has now received the travelling craft box which means I can show you what I made for her...
Heather as most of you will know loves to crochet and has been recently showing us her latest WIP, a  double crochet cushion cover, so I thought I would make her a project bag to keep her latest project in.
I found the perfect fabric with lovely bright spring colours and large flowers and this is the result....
,

please excuse the mess in the background!!!

and the mess here too!!

Because there is just too much mess in my workshop I thought I'd take some pictures outside!!!

Fresh pink marbled cotton lining.

A Big Bottom!!!

and some top-stitching to finish off.

Inside I added a large flower pincushion using a flower motif from the same fabric as the bag, a pouch filled with pretty spring coloured buttons and the obligatory chocolate...who can resist Galaxy!!!

I'm really enjoying making bags again and have been looking through my modest VAST fabric supply and  re-finding some lovely fabrics..now where did I put those scissors!!!

The Travelling Craft Box

Thanks everyone for their comments on my question about swap etiquette it would seem most of us would be happy to re-gift a present and also wouldn't mind a re-gifted present either as long as it doesn't go back to the original gifter!!!

The travelling craft box organised by Lynda over at Hookin' with LaaLaa is on it's way around the UK.

I was lucky enough to be the first recipient of  Lynda's box which was full of lovely crafting bits and pieces (I haven't added a photo as I don't want to spoil the surprise). Lynda also included a lovely CK drawstring bag full of goodies just for me which I can show you.

All my lovely goodies from Lynda

This included

a fab DOTS & SPOTS postcard

A very cute sewing set

Heart card toppers

Butterfly sticky notes

Cath Kidston buttons and badges

A Yankee Candle spiced orange candle

as well as some spotty fabric, a notepad (which I am using for my to do lists) and some incense sticks.

Thank you Lynda for organising such a fab swap idea and for all my wonderful goodies, I have taken something from the box and added some more bits to it and have sent it on its way to Heather at Pink Milk.
