Fully reversible octagonal tote bag.
One side is a teal and white polka dot cotton and the other a dark blue denim cotton.
Great little women's handbag or project bag.
Or a lovely large tote for a little girl.

Polka Dots, Flowers and Butterflies Tote
Handmade bag with polka dots, stripes, butterflies and flowers.
All fabrics used are 100% natural lightweight cotton.
There's a magnetic snap to keep it closed and two inner pockets: one with a zipper and one without.
The combination of fabrics is a jumble of some of my favourites.
It's a bonus that the bag itself is also very light and practical.
You can find it here.

Snow White Flower Bobby Pins
These are a pair of snow white flower bobby pins that set off for their voyage over the Atlantic Ocean today.
Which somehow got me singing this catchy late 1980s hit song - in french, no less.....

Birthday Flower
A friend of mine had her birthday yesterday and I wanted to make her a gift.
I've made her flower earrings, a flower ring -or two- and a little flower brooch in the past, so I thought it was time for a flower keyring.
It really is an easy gift as even people who don't like wearing flowers on their person welcome a flower to carry around with their keys.
I loved making this one and I adore the polka dot cotton leaves.
Did you notice that they are 3 different sized polka dot prints?

Keyring Flower Charm
This is a gift I made for a friend who doesn't wear flower accessories.
Not as brooches, or hair clips, or rings or earrings.
So she got a key ring -or bag charm if you prefer- with a flower she admired in a sweet, muted lilac.
You tie it around your key ring or your bag handle.
I use a version of this on my car key and home key sets and never have to waste time any more fishing into my bag for either set of keys.
It used to be a particular pet peeve of mine to have to manically search for those elusive keys.
Now I use the tell-tale leaves or flower to quickly fish it out of a pocket.
I've been making and using these for at least a couple of years and I'd vouch for their effectiveness.
Plus I get to carry a couple of my flowers around all day.....

Little Brown Polka Dot Bag
This little bag, in an essentially fall mix of colours, was made after a friend's request for a small brown bag that could take her most places.
The light cotton fabric is one of my favourites. I love how tiny the little polka dots are.
The shape is one of my all-time favourite shapes too and I used this a lot a few years ago to make silk evening purses with ruffles on top!
The flowers were added on a whim for some extra interest as well as a more girly note.
One by one the bright caramel, orange and yellow of the flowers and leaves all came together and I just loved the result!
Happily, so did my friend.
This bag was so much fun to make that I promised it wouldn't take me so long till the next one.

Top 10 Summer Time Picks
This is a selection of some of my favourite summer images from my Summertime Pinterest board -though I must confess to being partial to just about all of the images on that board.....
A mixture of vintage and current and all-time classics of surf, sun and bathing-suit clad beauties.

First Ever Organza Flower Key Ring
An organza-flower-and-leaves collage for your keys - it's been on my list forever. So I'm thrilled to finally make one!
This is actually a gift for a friend who's not the kind of girl to wear organza flowers on her person -incomprehensible, I know!
Now she can carry it around with her keys.
The long ribbon is not only for girly bows. It's to help you fish it out of your purse easily.
I've been making a different version of this for my keys for the last few years
and it's so great to always be able to find your keys on the first try.....(I'll try and make a tutorial for it one of these days.)
The red and pink tones are in tune with my latest red craze that isn't showing any signs of abating.
I teamed it up with the cutest red and white polka dot box I could find.
I wish I'd taken a picture of it with it's pretty purple ribbon.....
