So, I have lots of things to show, hopefully in the next few days. Firstly, I have actually made something!! I know, its been so long, and it was only an evening project, but it feels nice to be making again.
Esme has to take 20p fruit money into school each day, to buy fruit at break time from the school shop which is run by older pupils. In the first week, she seemed to mislay this money, be it in a purse or an envelope with her name on. So, I made this little purse, so she can wear it across her body all day and not lose her money. It fastens with velcro 'Mum, my friends don't believe you made it beause it has velcro on...' and has a strawberry button on the front and an apple on the back. I made it by hand, not bothering to get out the machine for such a small job.The purse is small, Esme can just get her hand in, it is lined in spotty green fabric, and the predominant red matches the school uniform. She loves it, and as yet has not lost a penny from it!!!

Oh Hannah that is gorgeous! I love the apple on the back! I'm not surprised her friends didn't believe her mum had made it! My children's friends say the same thing (sometimes!)
Glad you're back - you have been missed! Lucy x

What a lucky girl Esme is! It's very sweet and such a great and useful idea.
Great little bag and what a wonderful idea to have a fruit market at school. Beats the candy and pop machine they have here in the states.
