A NEW TOTE BAG

Hello there fellow bloggers

Has it been that long since I last posted?

Time has really slipped away on me this time

Why does life seem to get busier

as we get older?

Is it because we go slower at things

than we used to?

Or is it just rubbing off from the 

way others live their lives

cramming things in to fill every waking moment,

making us feel we have to keep up, or

risk being labelled as uninteresting

and having no life

Well without becoming too philosophical

and trying to analyse it all

I really think it doesn't matter

just how busy or unbusy you are

The main point is whether you're happy

with your lot in life and making the

best of it as you can for the time

you have left on this wonderful planet

What I'm really here for is to share my

productive day with you

Which started with me emptying out all

my fabrics onto the kitchen table

This I haven't done for quite some time

So I was very excited to find

lots of fabric pieces I'd forgotten I had

and would be ideal for making

a bag or pouch

which I'm currently favouring doing

at present in my little craft room

But today I wanted to make a 

new bag for my card making class

I go to on a Friday

I bought a pattern from here

I love Michelle's patterns

they come with great instructions

and tips and the end result

is always pleasing

This particular bag is called

a grocery bag, but I think it

has many uses, being a very

roomy and practical design

So here is the end result!

Perfect for holding all my

craft supplies in

Didn't take too long to whip up

So I'm happy I now have a lovely

bag to take along to my craft group

I decided to add a few pockets

Which is a little different from the pattern.

Hope all is well with you and yours

in your part of the world

and thank you for stopping by

my blog.
