It's stitching weather...

It is raining steadily here today and that makes it excellent weather for stitching or perhaps starting to decorate for Christmas. I don't feel too motivated to drag out all the decorations yet as it usually means some cleaning and dusting as well!
We had a busy day yesterday as we were in Sydney for an engagement brunch. Luckily the weather was perfect. I'll share some photos soon. Before that here are some fantastic bags that Linda and Anita made at a retreat recently. This is Linda's bow bag.

Linda also made this special evening bag.

Anita make this great bag which is so clever in its design. The bows at each end create the shape of the bag. I think the designs are all by Monica Poole of Moonshine designs. This one is called the Bonbon bag. Makes me feel like making a bag!
