Pink baby bag
The weather is still hot, but compared with the extreme heat in July and August it feels lovely. Two weeks ago I worked every day for hours in the garden. Pulling weeds, digging and pruning. The vegetable garden is now ready for planting winter veggies. The flower garden looks nice.
This week I went into my normal routine of going to the gym and sewing. I made a few baby bags. The first one is this pink bag.
The elephants I ordered from the States, together with some more lovely fabrics with patterns for children. The pink materials are from Greece.
This is the back. The flower material I got from Jo-Anne. I love to go shopping there when I am in America. It's so easy shopping there. In Greece there is very little cotton fabric available, so I have to really search, which became kind of a sport!
This weekend I'm going off to Stoupa which lies near Kalamata. Jennifer Gay, who writes garden articles in Athens News and who is a member of the Mediterranean Garden Society will give a talk over gardens she designed together with her partner Piers.

What a lovely bag and the fabrics that you have managed to find here in Greece are also suprisingly lovely. I agree and I like how you have named it a sport ,that way it makes it a fun challege ,I wish you a nice weekend I am sure you will enjoy listening to the talk on the subject over gardens which you have busy with I wish you happy planting.
ReplyDeleteThank you Theodora. Nice weekend to you, too!
DeleteHier zijn we echt in de herfst beland. Harde wind, regen, opklaringen en zon wisselen elkaar allemaal af. Ik hou er van.
ReplyDeleteJe hebt weer een mooie tas gemaakt. Jammer dat je zo weinig leuke stoffen kunt krijgen.
En veel plezier bij de tuinlezing!
Lieve groet,
Gerry
Wat een leuke baby tas met olifantjes echt apart. Heerlijk om naar een tuinlezing te gaan. Vandaag was er bij Esveld in Boskoop een speciale kwekerijendag met div. Lezingen o.a.door R. Bastin een mediterrane plantenkweker, ik ben er geweest en kwam natuurlijk weer met een aantal planten thuis. Had thuis wel moeite om nog een plaatsje te vinden, mijn ogen zijn tegenwoordig groter dan mijn tuin.
ReplyDeleteGroeten en ik hoop dat je ook een leuke dag heb gehad.

Mijn tuinlezing was ook erg interessant. Veel bijgeleerd! Er zijn nog weinig goede boeken over tuinieren in deze omgeving. En na de lezing heerlijk gegeten aan de waterkant met de hele groep (40 man). Tot 11 uur buiten zonder vestje. Dit is zelfs voor hier ongehoord!
DeleteI guess you are back from your trip Ada.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good time.
Love your bag!!
So sweet...wonderful!!! I love it!!! :)
