Tickle Me Tuesdays - Mellow

Ah, at last, a Tickle Me Tuesday post!

In a very mellow yellow and brown mood today, these are some of the things that I've been admiring lately....

1.Made by Agah fabric doll. Isn't she wonderful?!

2.The cutest mushroom picture from Nature Mandalas.

3.Potato and Savoy Cabbage Soup with Bacon  from BBC Good Food.

I haven't tried it yet but it looks perfect for the cold winter nights already upon us.

4.Laura Galic long wool jacket with those wonderfully dramatic ruffles around the collar.

5. Ordinary Mommy felt circle necklace in all sorts of pretty yellows.

Nautical Circle Brooch - Newly Listed

I don't know why these seem a bit Christmas-y to me.....

Maybe it's the red and white.

Or the snow-flakey stitching on this one.

Or maybe it's because I'm feeling the Christmas spirit early this year.

It is, after all,  the most wonderful  time of the year...just like the song says.

In any case, I've got my own set of these and they've been my sole choice of accessory lately.

The pictured set is now listed in the shop.

Bag Entries for Purse Week

I finally made the deadline today for the bag contest going on over at A Lemon Squeezy Home.

This is the bag I entered today.

The front.

The back.

Some close-ups and details.

It's actually the second one I finished today because I ruined the first version of the bag -identical except for the floral fabric used.

The moral of the story is: don't try that new thing you've been meaning to when it's close to your deadline......

I'm very happy with this one except that I altered it's original rounded shape by adding some tucks down at the corners at the bottom and they make it look boxier than what I had in my sketch.

But I like boxy as much as I like rounded......so it's fine.

The large circle on the one side is in fact a pocket. It closes with a magnetic clasp and it's been my favourite pocket for a while now.

It holds quite a few things and pretty securely at that.

My other entry is this one:

They've been both uploaded in the Purse Week Group on Flickr.

Wish me luck!

Recycled Green Circle Brooch

This is one of the accessories that I've been wearing a lot lately.

It's a collage of some of my favourite materials from pre-loved clothes that I couldn't bear to part with.

That shabby chic look is part of the design and is enhanced by wearing.

There are also various other versions of this brooch that it gets teamed up with on occassion and according to mood.

But this green one is one of my favourites.
