La La Bags

One of the things to come out of my sweet sweatshop this week are these little girls handbags.  I have been calling the design my La La handbag, because as soon as Miss 2 got hold of one she donned it, and started bopping around the lounge singing "La La Lalaalallalala".....

Simple and sweet.  This easy pattern is a great way to use up scraps (easily get main part of the bag out of a fat quarter).  A little ricrac and a button and WAHLAH!  I sold these to a friend of mine for $10 each.  Got a feeling from Miss 2's reaction that I may need to make a few more!.......... Another great idea for handmade Christmas prezzies; what little girl could resist!

Cheers happy people.

Wednesday - Domestic Goddess Tip # 3

Ok, ok, I know it's Thursday, but better late than never......

Simple tip, save the net bags that you get when buying fruit or onions. They make great soap hangers for the garden!  Unlike old tights, they don't perish as quickly, most of the time these bags are synthetic nowadays.

Good old fashioned Sunlight soap is a hard cake, and lasts awhile outside too!
