Another Little Shabby Fabric Collage Bag "Kindness"

Have just completed another

of my fabric collage bags

seem to be making lots of these

lately, just love the way

you can begin with a simple

idea of a bag or tote

and use vintage images

laces, old buttons and doileys

and create a beautiful result

that takes you back to another time

The theme of this bag is
"Kindness"
We can all use a little kindness in
our lives, and if we give out
lots of kindness we can always
see it coming back to us
even in small ways
I've used the same Graphics Fairy

image again, I know, but I do love this one

so couldn't help making just one more 

bag with it on, so it will probably be

the last of this image for a while

 Hope you like this one.
It is now available
for you to purchase
on my Ebay

Enjoy the rest of your day, Robyn.

I'll be linking this up with:

Patchwork, stitching, bag & teacup!

Hi everyone, have been away from my blogging for a while. Have been rather unwell with a nasty tummy bug that has taken longer than I would have liked to clear up. In the midst of all this it was my 60th Birthday, which I was hoping would be a pleasant celebration. 

Unfortunately, what we had planned had to be cancelled. 

So turning 60 wasn't quite what I expected.

Anyway that's life I guess

And I have lots to be grateful for

I received some wonderful gifts

to make me feel very spoilt

So I thought I'd do a "show and tell"

My dear Mum, God love her, made me this

beautiful mug rug with 3D flower attached

She stitched the whole thing by hand

as she no longer has room, where she lives 

for her sewing machine

I found the pattern for the mug rug 

here when I saw it I loved  it and thought

it would be a project Mum would

like to make, not thinking she would

make it for my Birthday.

No, I really didn't ....Lol!!

She also made me this 

beautiful bag, I just love

the fabrics and colours

she's used. This she also stitched 

completely by hand, including

the two zips at the top.

I guess one of the advantages

of being 86 and living in a retirement

home where everything is done for you

gives you lots of free time.

Mum is one of the lucky ones

she still loves and is able to manage

needlework, knitting and

most things crafty.

I'm sure it keeps her brain ticking!

My sister, made for me

these two beautiful quilts

with delightful stitcheries 

in the centre

I love the colours she used

and all the trouble

she went to to create these

pieces of art for me

She also gave me this beautiful

Royal Albert cup and saucer

with a sweet little matching

tea bag holder 

It is very beautiful and

has prompted me to begin

collecting beautiful teacups.

I was spoilt even more

by my DH and DD

so even though there

was that "grey cloud"

hanging over my special Day

I'm grateful to have had

so much pleasure sent my way.

Am on the mend now

having lots of chicken soup

and plenty of rest

Next post I'll show you

what I've been creating

Have a lovely week-end

Robyn
