Cute Girlie Bags

When the weather is fine (which isn't often in Ireland) I always get a bit lazy with my furniture revamping and craft work and start spending my spare time in the garden usually still painting but instead of house furniture it's garden benches and the shed (which I won't bore you by talking about).  However, I started to feel guilty about not posting much on the blog recently and decided to make some of these cute girlie felt bags again which I've been meaning to do since Easter but just didn't get round to.

These kids bags are for sale on the blog here for €6.99 each and you can order them by emailing me at Funky-Junk Email or through Funky-Junk Facebook.  They can be made to order with your own choice of design/colour. As you can see, I'm still working on the pink one with the heart - the handles have yet to be attached (4th photo).  These are giving me the inspiration to make some grown up versions.....perhaps a vintage look?  Keep watching to the adult version in the near future.

Easter Bags & Buckets

I love this time of year when the evenings are a little brighter, Spring flowers are displaying an array of colour and you can hear the birds singing in the morning.  It's also the time when every boy and girl is waiting with excitement the arrival of the Easter Bunny and what better way to collect all those lovely eggs than in a cute little bag, basket or bucket.

I made the bags from felt and ribbon, they are hand stitched (because I couldn't get my sewing machine out of the cupboard without removing a tonne of other stuff first) and they are just the right size for collecting a few small eggs.  I always feel that boys are hard done by a times like this, everything seems to be targeted at girls and for that reason, I made the Easter buckets pictured below.
