Well that’s me for this week, if the weather man is right my log burner will be on tonight and tomorrow as the storm rolls in! So much for summer salads it will be soup and stews! I don’t mind really if it’s cold and rainy it means I’ll get lots of crafting done. I have a huge box of new Autumn-Winter goodies delivered today so I shall be playing all weekend!
Have fun with whatever you are doing and stay safe and dry !

Just been watching this video, and I am all set for an afternoon of making gift bags. Just wondered if you could attach the reinforcing and the handles before gluing the bag together.would be easier for my older hands.
Thank you for sharing this, it is just what I was looking for.
