My girls have had a run on 'it's my friend's birthday soon mum (wink, wink!)'.
That usually means one of two things for me - get down to the shops to buy something or get down and busy and make something!
As I come out in a nervous rash at the very thought of going shopping, it usually boils down to option no.2!
So here are the pressies I've managed to whip up this week:
1. Slouch Bag (for a 13 year old friend - posted about here.)
2. Pencil Case (for a 16 year old friend) with pvc lining and stuffed with sweets and nail polish!
3. Journal & Cover (for a 13 year old friend)
4. Make up Bag (for a 16 year old friend) also stuffed with sweets!

| Made from my old jeans - I might just have to make another one of these for myself! |
So let's hope that's the birthdays sorted out for another wee while.
And finally, just time to show you the gorgeous scraps I won from Reene:
Reene has amazing taste in delicious fabrics and I'm sooooo going to enjoy using these! Thanks so much Reene.
Happy Friday everyone!
Love the makeup bag made from jeans - I am doing similarly myself just now!
