Dig this


The boys are 1 and 3 years old. This is a golden time.

I can still hug and kiss Argy and Bargy without either looking mortified. I can dress them in similar outfits without it being too odd. I can sing loudly and dance round our house with them, without embarrassment.

And I can sew twee, purpose-built items like today's project.

This bag is for transporting toy diggers and trucks to the park. Its my first go at applique. I hope it takes them a while to twig that there's something a little bit wrong about a floral backhoe loader.

  4. You did such a lovely job. A while back I made a simple sack for my little boy's cars and trucks. Yours is wonderful and now I wish I had tried some applique.
