Hello, how are you doing?
Have you finally finished all of the turkey?
Is the dustbin full and the bottle bank overflowing?
Yes, same here, lol.
We've reached those funny few floating days between Christmas Day and New Years Eve. I've found myself floating aimlessly too, unable to settle. I know exactly why; I get like this if I haven't done anything creative and crafty for a couple of days. 
So there was nothing for it but to set up a make-shift work station up in the attic. You see my usual big sewing table has travelled down 2 flights of stairs to join the dining table as we had guest for Christmas. In it's place 2 single mattresses were laid ready for my nieces to sleep on. Well needs must and all that, I stood the mattresses up against the wall (I can't put them away as we have more guests arriving on New Years Eve.) and put together a tiny kitchen table that we no longer use.

Ahhhh...that's much better, just enough room for my lovely, lovely, scrummy sewing machine (oh how I've missed you! stroke, stroke.) and a small cutting mat.
And what did I make?
Well I've had this scrappy little drawing in my sketch book for months, so I thought I'd see what I could do with it.
Do you want to see?
I had a good old rummage and chose a suitable piece of embroidered linen.
Another rummage for pretty cotton lace, which wasn't easy as everything had been stuffed out of sight in cupboards and under beds ready for my guests. (How I'll ever find anything again I really don't know!)
A piece of the reddest gingham fabric
and hey presto!
A little Spring time shopping bag was made.
Ohhhhhh...I feel sooooo much better now that I've had my fix! lol.

I'll be back soon with all my Christmas craft makes now they are no longer secrets and some pictures of frozen waterfalls.
