A flexible addiction....

Verbose
For the last couple of weeks I have been making things for a fair that I will have a table at, and one of the loveliest things has been being asked to do custom orders that have then sparked new ideas for things I would love to make even more of - I've had one such order this week, that I enjoyed working on so much that I have been waking in the middle of the night excitedly thinking of more fabric combinations that it could be made in...but more on that once the recipient has received her parcel.
And finally the Marie Claire Idees book: Simply Irresistible Bags, that I had on my Amazon wishlist for nearly half a year pre-publication. A couple of the leather bags that are featured in it are quite simply divine...but as leather can be hard to source and expensive to buy I shall have to satisfy myself with drooling over the ones on the pages instead. It's so hard buying books on the internet as you have your own (normally unrealistic) expectations of what a book's covers may hold. I think I may have been guilty of having visions of being transported into the realms of Parisian chic via the bags in this book, but actually it's more in the vein of French country rustic chic so not quite what I was expecting and possibly less of the type of bag that I would wish to throw over my shoulder when leaving the house. But it's a really lovely book, beautifully photographed and well put together.
You may be thinking now: maybe if she did shorter blog posts she'd be more capable of fitting that into her life at the moment...I've thought that too...but I'm simply not capable of it. I was once told by a rather dashing recruitment agent named Giles that my CV was verbose...it stung, as the truth often does. I think he would say the same thing of my blog...not that he looked like he had an interest in sewing.
