show and tell

prairie and i have been crafting up a storm of late. must be the onset of winter and nights in front of the fire. this bag, i made for tommy's choir teacher as a thank you for the amazing work she has done with the children. they were in a competition last week and there wasn't a dry eye, in our row anyway. i made the hessian/burlap bag and added the vine and leaves. the gorgeous little roses are courtesy of mimi's tutorial  - thank you mimi - and kirsten, you are right, they are totally addictive to make. in no time at all you have a pile of them!

and prairie's contribution to the show and tell is a brooch she made for a friends birthday. she came and asked me if she could use the blanket and felt to make it and the next time i looked she was onto the 2nd letter. i put the ricrac on the next morning because it was a school night and it was getting on when she had the brainwave to make the gift. her friend was very happy with her handmade present!

Oh, the bag is gorgeous. I want one too - did you just use ordinary hessian (the stuff you rag rug with?)

Prairie's brooch is lovely too. Nice colours and lovely stitching.

What a clever girl Prairie is, such a lovely thoughtful gift - I just wonder where she gets her talent/thoughtfulness from? Hmmmmmm.
You did a beautiful job on the bag - so pretty.
