The wild coast of Bohemia

A friend sent me the news that Lon Milo DuQuette has worked out that Sarah Palin's name in Hebrew enumerates to 666.

Hard to know how to react to that really.

I think I will get back to working on the toile - "hubble, bubble, toile and trouble"  that is.

I bought a Liberty's varuna wool vintage shawl in "Hera" pattern some time back and then - typically - fell in love with it. However, it had some quite bad moth damage in one part when we bought it so I finally accepted that it really should be cut. I'm actually really glad as the bags turned out to be just drop-dead gorgeous. One had a moth hole (Romana spotted it too late once it was sewn) so I grabbed that one. It's become my new small bag for carrying things in my messenger.

It's hard to do these bags justice in a photo, They are just luscious. You know, some things just work out SO well.









They are only on Etsy for now as I need to upload a whole heap of things to the main shop. By the way, they're a little more expensive than our usual bags as the fabric in itself is quite pricey and collectible now.

Well, at least the first two.

I wasn't sure these could be done - it's been hard to find copyright-free images in a decent enough resolution (these fabric prints demand good resolution) but these came out well. Admittedly after a good deal of work from Alex. I think it's been worth it though.
