Winter Sunshine

 
 
 

I decided to take my fabricmache balloons outside into the Winter Sunshine to decorate the naked trees.

It's a  beautiful view from my back door.

After seeing a lovely bag here - I downloaded a pattern from here -

Using an old felted jumper . . .

. . . and some denim

. . . and a treasure from a Special Friend . . .

I created this

My new Winter Bag!

    Love your Winter bag.
    We had a heat wave here. in New England . So I recreated Winter in our front room ~ turned the AC up high and chilly, and crocheted 3 scarfs for Christmas :)

    Nothing like a new bag and a cheery tree to make winter more bearable.
