Just stashing dahlink!

Hey, I want to thank you for your really kind response to my new bag design. I'm blown away by how many of you responded - wahey!  So, I have almost finished creating the PDF pattern and so far the pattern testers haven't pointed out any major cock-ups.  I'll be sure to post about the finished result as soon as it's ready:

Here is the new PDF pattern WIP (see? I haven't been idle...).

I hope all you had a lovely weekend (ours was a long weekend in the UK).   All weekends should be 3 days long - someone suggest that to Gordon Brown (it might make him popular again. Heh!)

Mine was pretty quiet.  Al is still furiously studying for his finals which left me free to walk the dog and also pop into town to shop for a few sewing stash supplies.  I wanted to get myself some elasticated thread because I soo want to try this cool shirring tutorial and then attempt this cute dress by Heather Ross.  So I braved the Oxford St, John Lewis habby dept. and I somehow ended up buying these by (bargain-acious) mistake:

Woo hoo!  These bit posh shoes were greatly reduced on sale and they had them in my size - In my size!? that never happens does it?

OK back to pattern making :(
