Gotta love that introvert/extrovert bag, but the funniest line was the Dr. Who's Tardis. Guess I thought I was the only sci fi fan in WOYWW. Sorry I'm so late showing up this week. Seems I've had to say that a lot since last Wednesday.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-74668215869678575822011-09-25T09:46:36.071+01:002011-09-25T09:46:36.071+01:00Hi Jan - just to say thanks for all your good wish...Hi Jan - just to say thanks for all your good wishes for Annie & co.

That bag is calling my name too.<br />It is so hard to see the kids go and spread their wings,a very wise person told me that it should be a moment of great satisfaction, because if we did not do our job as parents really well, our kids would never be able to actually leave us. Did not make me any less sad, but put a whole new perspective on the situation.<br />Happy WOYWW even though its Friday already.Tertiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915401053788903418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-58093782799728920282011-09-23T04:49:23.691+01:002011-09-23T04:49:23.691+01:00You have a wonderful eye for combining fun fabrics...You have a wonderful eye for combining fun fabrics!Sue from Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774234118472002924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-79281574465282378332011-09-22T13:52:46.919+01:002011-09-22T13:52:46.919+01:00Hi Jan, what fab fabrics, love those colours toget...Hi Jan, what fab fabrics, love those colours together; your bags are just a delight, please can I buy the teapot one from you?

Look at it this way, with the lack of clothes washing, tidying, feeding and ferrying around you'll have so much more time to craft!
