Sunshine, Honey and Fry

I woke up extremely early this morning with the intention of once again shutting myself in the house and finishing everything that was on my list.

Firstly, I found something beautiful to inspire me for the day. My housemate bought this cactus about two months ago, and not only has it flowered every day, the flowers have continued to increase in number.

I completed Tara's purse; as requested in black and red:

The back is made from red, velvety, upholstery material, the front is made from thick black cotton and embellished with a red faux-suede star. It is lined with calico and has a black zip. It is slightly larger than credit card size, with a little extra room for coins.


I promised Jo that I would cover a door for a cupboard in her and Dave's caravan for her birthday (back in March). I wasn't happy with the first two attempts so I scrapped it and began again. The door was incredibly difficult to work with as any paint or glue used on its surface just peeled right off so, this is attempt number three...

I had a look at the fastenings and the hooks, and I thought that fixtures should be bulky enough for me to cover the door, as though it were a pillow, and it would still be able to function normally.

My theme was Purple; here is my material selection:

The door also had to include something Dog related, and I know that Jo and Dave are partial to a Margarita on the odd occasion, so...

The Inside

I only had a few odd scraps of purple, so I made a patchwork cover for the door and secured the fittings over the top.

The Front

I used some hand-made paper, which I made a few weeks back and decorated it with a Sharpie.

All it needs now is a handle. :)
