Happy New Year! I hope that whoever and wherever you are, you had a peaceful Christmas break. Our Christmas was a relatively quiet one, with much resurrection of old fashioned games, such as Happy Families and Pick-Up-Sticks, which was great fun and what we all needed I think. Who knew that a tube of wooden sticks could be so much fun?! And muddy winter walks. One of our favourite places to walk is Ickworth House , and the pictures below are from there, but I forgot my camera so these are from a previous January.

I've started to make some accessories. I'll start by showing you the bags I've recently made.

The bags are made in silk Dupion, some with lace trims and/or beading, and can be made to order, or in different shades. What do you think? The actual bag section is approximately 20cm tall and including the handle approximately 33cm. Great for brides, bridesmaids, and in darker colours, as evening bags. They will be for sale soon, I'll post where and when.
