Here Come the Girls!

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!
