This is what I am going to do this holiday season, buy handmade crafts or even make them. Doing so will encourage and support local artists (including myself) to continue making unique gifts for everyone.
Finally, new set of passport covers are now available online. Passport Cover with RFID Block is the blue one.
Here are a couple of clothes I made for myself. I copied it from one of my purchases which I bought even if it is a size smaller 
I copied the pattern, adjusted the size and length and viola!
I love the outcome and I still have the patterns so I can make more if I want.
I am trying to catch up on creativity absences in the previous month and all I can say is there are now quite a lot of them. And quite a variety too! I made a couple of shoppers with their own pouch, sweet tote/shoulder bags and a couple of handbags which are quite simple but I am particularly proud of.
The two shoppers are sturdy reusable shopping bags that you can carry in your bag ready to use when you suddenly decide to buy some groceries. This is a 100% recycled bag using fabrics and straps reclaimed from items I bought from the Children’s Society and Cancer Research charity shops. I am still working on more reusable shopping bags from reclaimed fabrics , so watch out for them on my shop and don’t hesitate to get one for yourself!
And above is a sweet looking tote/shoulder bag I call Izzy (Isabel) Bag. Sorry for the crap photo, I was taking this in a hurry with my cybershot, I will take a much better one very soon! I made a couple more versions of these, they look fun and really cute! Who says Fall/Winter collection to be dull and monotonous?
On other things, I finally sent my swap to my partner (in the UK). I kept making stuff for her it got so delayed.
Here is what I sent and I really hope she gets it really quickly!
Tomorrow, I will be going with the whole clan and some Flickr friends from the London Flickr Meetup group to Brighton.
Above is my itinerary, which includes the priority sites I want to see. I really hope the “predominant Sunny Intervals” said by the weather forecast to be true because it would make my first visit to Brighton quite special.
Today I finished the 2nd Pop Messenger Bag for the Handigift Fall/Winter Collection. It is a simple design but very functional and using bright colours and beautiful bold prints – it makes a trendy, eye popping creations.
