Good morning all , it has been a while but we had to go buy a new computer so I wasn't able to post , haven't figured out how to do it on the Ipad . I wasn't overly concerned with not being on the computer , we finally have some summer weather and I would much prefer to spend my time enjoying the weather , it is such a short season for us .
A few days ago I received this lovely package in the mail , I had won a giveaway on
Stitch Lines and Linda made me a custom fit bag for my Ipad , how great is that .
This is how it looks all zippered up and now to show you the Ipad inside all well protected . There is a large pocket on the outside as well .
Thanks so much Linda , I just love the fabrics you chose and the Ipad now has a safe home when not in use and will be perfect for when I travel .
I have been making bags as well , I came across a great buy on some decorator fabrics and went to work making totes .
This was the first one , I just love that striped fabric .
A fun one for the beach :-)
This one is quite large , lots of room when traveling .
The pocket was a cotton napkin and thought it was perfect to create a nautical bag .
The final one this looks better in person . It is a very dull day here and we are expecting rain , too bad we couldn't send it to Saskatchewan , they sure need some heavy rain to put out the many fires that are raging in so many northern communities . Our son Roger lives in Saskatchewan and he said it is pretty bad some days . We need rain too but not as badly as they do , my thoughts are with all those affected .
This is the view across the field next to us this morning , they were smart and gathered the hay from the upper field yesterday , a few bales left to pick up but most of it was taken away before the rain comes . The field closest to us has been planted so isn't ready to be harvested just yet .
Thanks for stopping by today , I am linking up with the
Needle and ThreadNetwork today and be sure to check to see what others have done this week .
Hugs Sheila
Cute bags! You can never have too many totes, and your are all just adorable. And what a lovely bag from Linda for your iPad. I think I'm the only person in the world without an iPad.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute bags - especially the one with the flip flops on it.
ReplyDeleteI thought you had traveled with his mother ... then the problem was the computer.
ReplyDeleteYou did beautiful bags. I also really like the colored fabric.
I read the news of the fires. The burning vegetation is very sad. Here began the lack of rain again.
Hugs!
