Yes another bag
I remember many many years ago, proudly showing Russell a bag that I designed for a class. His response......."how many bags does a bag need?"........lol! If you know Russell, you will know that it was all in jest, and since then I have gone on to make so many bags that I have lost count. They a...

I am back home.....
Shop doesn't open until next Tuesday. I have opened my emails and there are a lot of them that need to be answered. Be patient, l will work my way through them. But first things first, there are bills to pay and orders to pick up, they are the top things on my list.
Hope your Christmas is all that you want it to be and I am looking forward to what Mrs Martin will be doing in 2014.

I must agree, it just isn't right to put all the Christmas stuff away so early and I am sure Alison will have done the same but I won't be doing it. I have agreed to stop playing the Christmas music today.
