A hand-made Cath Kidston Bag!! :) and a very excited lucy :) :) :)

Hi there!! :) :)

I hope you are all well? :) Nearly bonfire night!! :) Yippee :) Have you noticed yet that I get very excited about  all occassions (holidays as they would probably say in America :) ) I love this time of year because it is Halloween (YAY!!) then Bonfire night (YAY!!) then Christmas!! (Double YAY!!) and we will be having a new ickle member of our family joining us this Christmas :)

For my birthday my very lovely friend Hannah (who knows well of my Cath Kidston love) got me the new Cath book which is called Patch. It is all about Patchwork and I LOVE it :) :) This is my first little project from the book :) Last week I sat down to watching a Jane Eyre DVD and made this bag from the free kit which came with the book. I love the finished bag and it has been on a few outings with me already :) :)



 

So thank you for my book Hannah!! :) :)
