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!

    I thought my eyes had gone squint when I saw the door of the pub! Your bag is so nice I do like the tree pattern. Very useful piece of equipment a notice board, you can alwasy use it to plonk DH on the head if he continues to leave letters about!!! haha

    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.

    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

    Love the tree bag! For someone who didn't have much time this week, you seemed to have achieved a lot!
