A bit of new sewing and broken tap

Hello again, as you can see I have been sewing with my new Janome ☺ My 2nd project bag made from the pattern from 2011 sewing calendar 

I made a large pocket this time so it will fit the pattern and lot's of other things, and the bag is much bigger too, so now this blanket can travel around while I hook it ☺

I even matched up the seams this time while doing the boxy corners

And a pair of pj pants, don't look too close as I botched up one leg, but they are warm, fit and I like them ☺

Cute little animals and foot prints.....

Oh dear, a nice clean basin (the best you can do with this old relic) but the TAP ain't happy.....
Must not turn on tap or will be sprayed majorly all over lol
That bathroom renovation has not started yet but may be brought forward...
How is your week going?  I love hearing about what you are up to ☺
See ya soon xoxoxo ♥

Some crochet and a new sewing machine ☺

Hi there......I have been busy making more soap bags (just like the old soap on a rope) as we both like using these and stops the soap getting everywhere in the shower and easy to keep a grip on

They also are rather well liked as gifts to family and friends, well, I think they like them as they have not said "don't make em" lol

Also a few more of those day of the dead skulls with the fun glow in the dark nylon yarn

I have started a small blanket in these stylecraft colours

I am enjoying making this so far and love the stitch which is basically 2 double crochet then 2 front post double crochet, simple but looks good and is really soft

Saturday I went to our farmer's market and picked up some fresh vegetables and.......

Yes a new sewing machine, and was half price as this model now not being made

Look at all those stitches.....and the buttonhole is a one step procedure amazing.
I am going to have some fun with this.....
It has turned pretty cold here so better whip myself up a few pairs of flannelet pj pants.
Thank you for dropping in again and may your days be sunny and happy where you are xoxo
