Hello and happy end-of-school-term, if that's applicable to you. We're very happy to see the start of the spring holidays roll around here. The kids are visiting their grandparents and cousins this week and couldn't be happier about that. And we have a plan to go away for a few days with them next week which will be fun.
I made a bag for my little sister who had a birthday recently. She has a new baby so I thought a nice big bag with lots of pockets was in order. I followed the instructions for the 'Zip Pocket Tote' in Anna Graham's book Handmade Style and am really happy with it – I chose heavy black linen for the front of the bag, which also creates an outer pocket, and vintage dotty fabric for the inside.
There are lots of other projects I'd love to try in Anna's book, too – so I hope to get to those soon – maybe tomorrow if I'm lucky?

The photos above were taken on a walk home from work this week. It still feels like a luxury to be coming home in the light of the day, rather than trudging along at nightfall.
The street numbers have been spray-painted onto a rock wall, no doubt to help the postie and newcomers locate hilltop homes without having to climb a hundred stairs in vain. And the beautiful pink anemones belong to a nearby stranger, but I take a photo of them every year.
