And, do you remember the bag I made (see photograph below)? I took it with me today when I went shopping and whilst in a book shop with my little boy I heard a voice - 'I love your bag - where did you get it?' I jumped a little and turned round to find one of the shop assistants smiling at me. I explained that I had made it myself and she asked if I had any for sale. I was so pleased. I always feel a little self conscious when I go out wearing something I have made.
For a few days I have been wondering whether to make some of these bags to sell in my shop but they are much more labour intensive than my brooches and I would want to make sure everyone was unique.
However, I must admit I have one just about finished and the colours picked out for a second one so I have decided to give it a go! Fingers crossed!

You need never feel self concious
your things are fab. I love the applique bird and your crochet bag
is great well done.

Gorgeous work, love both items.
By the way, the postman's just been - I ordered "Toys for your Delight" from Amazon (had birthday vouchers to spend) and it looks great, though the copy I've got is a little musty smelling! Just need more spare time...
Wow! Both items are great!
Oh yes! Your bag is fab! And that's the ultimate test of somethings success, if someone plucks up the courage to ask where you got it!

Forgot to say how gorgeous the bird is! The start of to making perhaps? What a great post about the book you bought. And your elephant. It's fascinating to see that influence in your work.
And thank you for the show photos! I didn't know it was on, what a shame, hopefully I'll be able to make it next year, the standard is just superb.
