Slow week

Another weekend is here and yet I have no new bags to show you - there is a work in progress on my sewing table, a new hipster bag, but I forgot to take a picture of it while it was still light outside... Hopefully I will soon have pictures of the finished project.

It is a rainy weekend here in the east of France but the rain is very welcome after an unusually long dry spell. The heat and dry winds have finished off all the lovely tulips but luckily here comes the next prettiest flower - poppy!

I love driving past fields and fields of these bright red flowers that gently sway in the breeze and I don't care if they are considered pests, for me poppies are just plain gorgeous.

So with these borrowed images from davygoat.com I am wishing all of you a nice Sunday - see you soon!

Saturday

Did you have a nice Saturday?

Ours was spent picknicking by lake Saint Point, enjoying the perfect sunny day. It was windy and the calm breeze made us stay in the high altitude sun a bit too long - by lunch time we were already quite dizzy so the children had a rest in our comfy foldable beach hut.

We tried to fly a kite, the wind seemed right but kite flying turned out to be harder than it looks - especially when there are two children pulling at the kite's strings...

Lake Saint Point is a very popular place for surfers, sailing boats and picknicking families - children like playing in the grass, on the sandy beach or even wetting their feet in cold water. It is always a good idea to bring a change of clothes...

I hope to sew a bit tomorrow, I had plans to strat working on another hipster bag yesterday but then made this little plush toy for my son instead. He says he doesn't like to dream at night so I made him a small stuffed crocodile that will stay under his pillow and eat up all the dreams - a sort of dreamcatcher but very strict one since Gaston doesn't like dreams at all, not even nice ones...

I wish you a lovely rest of the weekend!

Just listed...

Another Maia small zippered clutch - sky blue corduroy and flower print canvas, a fresh blue-cream-orange combo for summer.

And I just realized it matches the Blogger "publish post" layout perfectly...

I'm off to bed, good night!
