Lost

I have lost something and spent all evening looking for it, its nowhere to be found :( Hopefully a sleep will help me remember where I last had it!!

Lunch bag tutorial

A very easy oilcloth lunch bag!

Mark out 15 inches by 12 inches and then in bottom corner make 2 1/2 inch squares

You will need to put right sides together and sew the two sides and the bottom (the shortest edge)

Then pinch the bottom and sides together and sew these.

Hem the top edge of the bag and tie all your knots.

You can use lots of different ways to fasten the bag, velcro, buttons, ribbon, poppers etc I like ribbon, sew on a piece of ribbon to the front of the bag and one on the back and your done!! Nice and simple!

Whilst on youtube I found this a lunch bag made out of old plastic bags and ironed together!! Had to give it a try!

Let me know if you try out either one and how it goes!

Cake

Just a few cake pictures for you. I am a little bit happy with them - can you tell!!

Maybe another little swap!!

Pop over to crafty Helen's blog to find this autumn/halloween swap!

In york!

I painted my nails following a tutorial on you tube - not perfect but considering I don't have any of the kit required not too bad I say!!

Since being in York I have mostly spent money - grrr - but most things have been bargains - so not too bad! Above is my new plant - photo doesn't do it justice! It is a lovely spiky magenta pink flower! A bargain from the pound shop!
Then a trip to the works and a new book - I am addicted to recipe and craft books so this was perfect. Expect pictures and blogs of makes done from here soon!!

Then perhaps the best bargain of the day my new tins - 47p and 37p!!! Very very happy with these!

Another swap

This is thanks to Jille really! Seen both of these on her blog and have decided I have to join them!! This is a no frills magazine swap thanks to troc broc and recup.

More swaps!!

I have joined the Christmas stocking swap over on Selina's blog and I'm very excited!!
