I love the soft duck egg blue. The handles were from my stash, and I have lined the bag with some redundant curtain lining.
And here is the shoulder bag modelled beautifully by my mum. She is however somewhat smaller than me so Mr S' suggested that she put the bag over her head to shorten the handle length whilst modelling it.
There was some confusion over the instruction!!!!!! And she was quite unsure as to whether the mother-in-law son-in-law relationship was coming to an abrupt end! Did he actual say put the bag over your head????
I'm so lucky really my special Mr S' and my special mum get on so well and clearly understand each others sense of humour.
Still with the bug for making a functional object I made a new Uni' bag to carry all my books in. Modelled once again beautifully by mum. I know its quite and unusual shape but I do love bags with a difference. I have a red jacket that it will go with beautifully and all produced for an extremely reasonable price.
I know I have probably been a little overindulgent and you can actually only use one handbag at a time but I had so much fun making them! Thanks to Julie over at http://mixedmedia-jem.blogspot.com/ who suggested I make being creative a priority over cooking, cleaning, ironing etc... And yes I still have all those to do but 'hey' who cares!! Thanks again Julie and everyone else who left very supportive comments on a previous posting.
'OOOOOO,' and I've been out for lunch again today, that's twice in one week. I had a lovely time with good company, good food, and lots of good fun. Back to the studies next week but its not all gloom, I'm already starting to feel refreshed and ready for a new project.
Take care.
Have a great weekend
Will post again soon.
Hugs.

Hello me, thanks for making me giggle this morning (though my stomach muscles didn't appreciate it following my visits to the gym this week!). Your uni bag is my favourite.... I have a nice red jacket too....!!!! Gotta love your Mum! Say hi to her from me. I can just hear Mr S's voice instructing her for the photo shoot, and his dispair when she took him literally at his word, lol!
Have a fabby weekend!
Big hugs Mrs xxx
The bags are gorgeous. I especially love the duck egg blue ones but that is a favourite colour of mine. Thanks too for sharing the humorous banter - just what I needed to cheer me up. Made me giggle in between the coughing and spluttering. Glad you are feeling revitalised for going back to your course. Hugs Maggi
Beautiful bags Lesley and well done you for having a creative day. I'm glad you're feeling renewed. Keep it up! :o)

The mum-in-law, son-in-law bit did make me laugh out loud. Now remeber you can never have too many bags. Plus Bag making v housework, MMMMmmm lets see tough call.....BAGS WIN!!
Guess what? i have just signed up for a year long sketch book project with the Emroiderer's Guild, bringing back fond memoreis, lets hope I come up with the goods.
Hello, I luuuurve the uni bag. The colours are scrummy, and beautifully modelled by Ma B.
Yes, I am very, very jealous of your scrap store haul. How much did it all cost you? I don't think you mentioned it!
Hi Leslie!
Thanks for popping over to my little blog and your very kind comments. Actually you are VERY creative. Some of your stuff looks like art work and your photos are awesome.
Keep up the great work!
