Oh wow, I really meant it when I took that Handmade pledge (see button in sidebar) this Christmas!  I have NINE THIRTEEN (I just recounted and had missed four) projects cut out ready to make.  And that’s not all I need to make!

Whatever was I thinking?  How many weeks left until Christmas?  It’s been a cutting out marathon, and now I have a LOOOOONG list of notions to buy today so that I can get to work on these (you know, zips, more interfacing, buttons, thread, etc etc etc).  I reckon that when making bags I spend more on the wadding, interfacing, zips, clips etc than I do on the fabric!

Speaking of fabric, this lot arrived this week (edited to add: from Z&S Fabrics again).

At this rate of online shopping I will have to return to work from maternity leave earlier than I’d like!
