Today has been so lovely and so unusual in so many ways.
Today we had no plans whatsoever.
Today we got to just hang out and see where the day took us.
Ruby decided early on that the day was going to take us to a baking session.
She was quite right when she said we hadn't done this for ages.
We soon rectified that and a short stroll later up to the shops to buy supplies and we were perfectly equipped for such a sesh.
Yesterday, with an equally rare Friday off I pulled out my recently bought Noodlehead Go Anywhere Bag pattern and set to work on making me a bag.
I delved into my saved-for-something-special Lotta Jansdotter Echo stash and made myself a bag.
This bag is just perfect. Perfect handle length, perfect sized inside pocket (customised to hold my favourite pen, iphone and old-lady-can't-leave-the-house-without-specs) and perfectly sized without everything lost inside.
Our unplanned day today was also taken up with making a Noodlehead bag for Ruby, who decided she also was needing such a bag.
I reduced the size a little to make it 10 year old friendly, but still with the requisite customised for-when-Mummy-finally-buys-me-a-phone pocket.
Socialising and plans can be so over-rated.
I haven't enjoyed a Saturday so much in ages.
I hope you have had an equally lovely Saturday.

Lovely bags - I made a mini 241 for my daughter, and she loves having the same style as mine!
