Last week I received the goodies I’d bought from two inspirational bloggers iHanna and Katie. (Click on either of those names and find your way to their blogs.)
The Paper Packs are pages from books which have some delightful images and text I can use in my art journal and for collaging. And my notebook from iHanna is a one-off original which maybe I’ll just use for Daily Art Cards 2009, although mine might not be daily and more several times a weekly!
At the end of March 2009, Aine Livia is moving Here. In the meantime I’ll be posting on both sites, as I need to practise with the new blog.

Recently found this photo of laptop bags.
And thought, hmm, I can make one of those. So I gave it a try and here’s the result.

And here’s the second of my efforts: The Coco Bag.
Last photo shows my adviser on things baggy, Ho Sam now known as Grey.

So here are my first two efforts, these are destined as Christmas presents for friends, who I hope will give up the plastic bag addiction.
The Trish Bag

Reading this post at Dollie Day Dream (Scroll down to Monday 8th October), it occurred to me that not only can old discarded skirts make Aprons, they can also be used to make really nice Tote Bags, to be used instead of those plastic supermarket/store bags which are choking our world.
So here is my first effort, made from one old skirt and a velvet scarf from the charity shop.
And now I’ve had a brilliant idea, my Christmas Gifts this year will be Tote Bags. Better get off the blog and on to the Sewing Machine.
