Hot Pink!

 good afternoon
on this quiet monday...
 
mr w left this morning
to go back to work,
up north again,
won't see him for at least a fortnight...
{talk daily though}
 
mr m
who was here just for the weekend
went back to brisbane shortly after.
 
it's quiet here
&
there are empty spots where their bags and clothes were,
where computers and phones abounded...
where shoes were abandoned.
 
mr w was here for a full ten days
i'd gotten used to having him around...
feeling married again!
 
it's a monday of adjustment around here.
 
on a brighter note...
 
 
 
made this.
still the jane market bag...
just jazzed up the colour a bit
&
relaxed the pattern a tad.
 
bring on summer i say!
 
how is it at your place today?
 
 
 
naturally Carol xox

  1. Your place sounds a 'bit empty' today Carol but what a lovely cheerful bag you made :-)

  2. Hopefully you have some nice things planned with friends to cheer you up a bit? It must be a bit of an upheaval always saying hello...goodbye...to family as they come and go. But what a pretty, pretty bag you've made!

  3. It's an odd feeling being the one left in the empty house, isn't it? I have a completely different routine when Andy is away (as he will be from tomorrow) than I do when he's here. It takes me a little time to adjust.

    Hope you have some nice things planned while you're on your own.

    That is a great bag - it's lovely to see how different the bags look using a variety of fabric combinations. All so pretty and practical!

  6. It would be hard going to a quiet house again. It looks like you're keeping yourself busy sewing up a happy bag like you have. Have a happy Tuesday Carol.
