Nearly ready for the Christmas shop!

popping up again

Good news- the Handy and Divine pop-up shop will open again in time for Christmas Shopping! Which means I need to hurry up and make things in time for Monday 3rd December. This time the shop will be hosted by the Upholstery Shop in Midhurst High Street.

I love these leafy pins, which I bought for a specific project, but I think I'll have to keep them for myself....

....anyone for tea?

Upcycled teacup pincushions!

Well, life in the Molebags household has just moved up a notch to Very Busy Indeed because Mr P is now working from home, which means he is sharing my creative space (a posh name for the spare room!)

So while he is working on the computer and my big white cat Molly is trying to sit on the desk between the keyboard and the screen, I am trying to make things in the corner!

I have a lot of little cups which are going to become pincushions, and hopefully they will be ready for the next Handy and Divine pop-up shop in the first week of December. We are having trouble finding somebody in Midhurst who will let us have a shop for a week, so fingers crossed that it happens in time for the Christmas shoppers.

I am also making myself a bag from this tutorial:

...using a HUGE pair of shorts which I bought in a charity shop for just £1. I like the idea of the recycled pockets!

Miss Mouse's quilt is coming along too- sometimes I don't know which project to spend time on next....
