After a weekend off I was back to work yesterday, then I had an appointment, so very little time to myself. On Sunday after I had blogged I did manage to get one or two things done. Remember those little bags I wanted to make? I appliqued the flower panels onto the fabric. Before constructing the bags and their linings. They really were very simple to make.
They're so cute, I want one for myself, but I have more to make for the nieces first!
I also went on to make some little gift bags from the off cuts of this fabric, but forgot to take a photo, they don't have handles yet, so when I put those on I'll get pictures.My cross stitch has moved very little to be honest. I did sit up in the study with Hunney last night, but achieved very little, the panda bear has an ear and a sprig of Bamboo, while the polar bear got his nose back stitched. So this one really looks pretty much unchanged.
The winter village scene has changed I have finished cross stitching the lower part of the chart and have begun the back stitching. There is another little house and tree in the distance and a few snowflakes to add then this one will be complete.
Did I mention how much I've enjoyed working on this little chart. I really have and I'm already planning which one to stitch next.
What am I grateful for?
1) I'm on a late shift today.
2) A sunny day.
3) Time to stitch and sew.
Today will be a good day.

The bags are gorgeous, I am sure they will be very well received. You've managed to get quite a bit done
very nice bag & lovely needlework projects, too!
I adore the flowers on this bag, wonderfull Thankyou for great blog
The bag is lovely. (How do you get the handles in? Is it as fiddly as it looks?) A friend said she was lucky enough to pick up some grotty bags from the charity shop, which had good handles, and cost her a fraction of the mormal handle price. A good tip.
