This weekend we picked all the butternut squash we have grown this year - 12 mini squashes of cute little shapes and sizes.
Did you spot the fabric?? I found this in the fabric bucket outside the charity shop this morning. I need suggestions for what to make with it. I also need suggestions for squash recipes!
We also have lots of apples that came from my Mums tree.
Again - the apples match the fabric. (which is an old duvet cover). This has been used to make a knitting bag (can't show a picture it's going to be a birthday present for someone)
On the theme of bags, I have made my first tote bag this weekend.... with random scraps that needed using up, and the main material is a piece of old curtain that someone had thrown away - how great that rather than being resigned to landfill this now has the second chance as a happy bag!! I must thank tatertots and jello for their guest project - which I used as a tutorial for how to make this bag.
Right, I am off to make the most of this unseasonably warm weather.
I love your tote!!
