Country Funday by Janice McFarlane

Last Sunday my daughter and family had a day out at Newbury Country Funday. It was a windy, warm day but quite cloudy but that didnt stop them from enjoying themselves, albeit an expensive one. The event wasnt free they pre paid for a family ticket which was £33.00. One of the rules was no one could take their own food or drink, but what they werent prepared for was the ridiculous prices, with food concessions not displaying prices which was a bit naughty, so sausage and chips x 4 and 4 cans of coke came to £49.00. The fair rides were a fiver each person to go on so it did turn out a pricey event. Having said that they did enjoy the monster truck, the music and a picture with the transformer Bumble Bee.

A New Bag by Sue Way

I belong to a few bag-making groups on Facebook, and one of them hosts a monthly challenge to create a bag of a specific design. This month, the challenge was to make The Clamshell Sling by Spencer Ogg Patterns. Since this bag is quite small, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to use some vinyl off-cuts that I had on hand. However, using two different shades of vinyl made the process a bit more challenging, as I had to keep switching threads. But I love the colours, so I am happy. My 4-day SALE starts today! With 20% off of my WHOLE store.
