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!

  4. A really lovely bag - the material you have used for the strap is gorgeous too. I also thought my eyes were playing up when I first saw the wonky door pic. Hope you have a good week.

  5. Definitely a well-named pub. Can imagine that being a bit difficult on the eye after a few pints!!

    Love the bag and the noticeboard, especially the useful pockets x
