Sunday, Sunday
Sunday is always one of my favourite days, we rarely stray far from home and start the day with a full English (or in our case an Ulster/Welsh) breakfast, cooked by the lovely Technical Advisor. At some point we try to fit in a long walk to work off that breakfast and usually are Sunday walks are leisurely and rambling and usually include collecting something along the way, the blackberries are now exhausted but last week we filled tubs of sloes which are now happily wallowing in bottles of gin, we rarely return home without a good selection of sticks, children need a lot of sticks it would seem.
We always have a large Sunday dinner, roast beef is a favourite mainly because of the accompanying Yorkshire puddings, Dylan in particular loves Yorkshire puddings and every dinner in between is a poor second while he counts down the time to his next Yorkshire pudding. At this time of year desert is normally apple crumble, apple pie, apple cake, stuffed apples, you get idea.....With three apple trees in the garden it would be rude not to! The arrival of desert on the table is normally accompanied by "not apples again" but everyone manages a second helping.
This Sunday I have a little treat, the Technical Advisor has gallantly taken the children swimming allowing me a little time to drink tea, nibble cake (apple of course) and blog, thank you Technical Advisor.
The bag is finished and I like the results. I love this combination of fabrics, the grey is from a length of grey woollen fabric picked up in a charity shop for peanuts, it feels lovely and soft and the colour really lends itself to embellishing. I already have another bag planned for myself, this time more of a squashy handbag,
I am toying with embroidery but I'm not sure I am over the felt flowers yet.....

the flowers look fab, I would never have thought to do them like that
I love grey wool with nice pink, I have some pinstripe suiting to do some pink embroidery on.
We have yorkshires with every meat, there is mutiny within the troops if we don't!!
mmmm fry-up ...
And I love your bag, the colour combo is fantastic, and the flowers are beautiful, very cute. Are they filled inside, they are looking so 'round' and three-dimensional.
Can´t wait to see your next bag, your drawing looks enticing.
I really like the bag you've got in the works; I've been wanting to make something similar. The colors look great!
