Mess and Cowboys

What a weekend we have had so far - off to the launch of our friend's new business Parents Wisdom on Friday night - that was so much fun and Middy stole the show flashing her nappy and generally being the life of the party, she is so cute all you can do is laugh at her and her silliness. Girly is still recovering from having her plaster removed so she sat quietly and did some art work in the room specially set up for littlies. Girly particularly loved Little Artist and Penny was so patient with her. It was a great night and we wish Tracey much success with Parents Wisdom.
Saturday was spent mainly with visitors popping into see Girly and her bare legs so it wasn't until late in the afternoon that we got to create some mess and WOW what a mess we created. Lots and lots of lovely fabric mess, cotton, paper, interfacing but I can guarantee from this mess will come some beautiful bags - all ready for the Dodges Ferry Artisans Market on the 7th March.
We are always creating new 'systems' to try and organise and streamline our sewing and our space - which is very limited. Our latest idea is to peg all the bits and pieces that go into making our bags onto a clothes horse - we will let you know if it works - seems OK at the moment. Well at least we wont be spending half my time crawling around on the floor looking for that strap or that pouch.Here is a sneak peek at one of our 'different' bags - wouldn't you love this spunky cowboy hanging over your shoulder and close to your.........HEART............ Sorry he is a little blurry - those damn cowboys can run really fast and it was a battle to catch him *grin*
Bye for now Miss Chief
