FAT LADIES

FAT LADIES

ABOVE:  anyone remember this fabric?  I got it online at least a year ago... and now I'm going to make it into a CUTE Bag.   It's a really hysterical fabric.. so up my street.  lol

Today:  Patchwork class, where I will continue to work on the 'Fat Lady' Bag. 

Feeling a bit ho-hum about blogging right now... seems all I blog about it me freakin bags. 
I'm even boring myself.   I must find more patterns for smaller bags to use up all the little left-over bits of fabric.  Anyone got any 'TOTAL IDIOT PROOF' ones?   At least then I will  have something different to show eh?

I am going to visit the Papakura Hospice Shop later on today too... they have a new Manager who I met at our shop last week and I said I'd pop in to see how she's going today.  I've not been in this particular shop before... wonder if it's as good as ours?  Hmmmm....

I was picking crap up off the floor this morning, and I grabbed Griffin's school bag to put it on the bench and thought... "bloody hell that's heavy!  What on earth does he have in there?"

ABOVE:  over TWO DOZEN school reading books!   That bloody little shit has been bringing them home (leaving them in his bag to accumulate) ...but not reading them!  I ask him most days "Got any homework" and he always says no, that his teacher does not give him any because he has SPELD homework!    I know he does not like reading, having dyslexia an all... but surely he also does not like lugging all those books around in his bag???  And has his teacher no NOTICED that she is missing 26 books in the class?  

*sigh*.... I am going to take them back today sometime.   What fun.

So, I went to class fully intending to make the above Fat Lady Bag... but instead I got a new pattern and made this for Brylee's Christmas:

ABOVE:  isn't it adorable!   She will LOVE IT I'm sure... especially when I stuff it full of girly things!

Right.. now it would appear I must finish that Fat Lady Bag... SPARKLINGMERLOT wants it.... choice!

But first... lunch!  Coleslaw today...

End of Day:  and wow, I've sold two bags on me blog today!  AND got an order for two of the new little bags and another of the CUTE bags!  That's quite amazing really.  AND I'm chuffed.  Thanks girls!  On that note, nite nite.
