 Crafty Memoirs: I am to become a grandmother in June. Another  first for my list of never before achievements! I am very excited to say the least. I have made a tote bag for my daughter-in-law Kia to cart all the baby bits and pieces around when she is out and about. It's made from the jeans worn by Rob way back when they were in high school together. There is a small white rosette on the fob pocket that is off  her wedding gown, a trinket that used to belong to my Mum is pinned in with one of Robs nappy pins. There is reference to their love of the ocean as well as dogs and cats. The back side is literally being booted. Probably something I could have done more of but being a softy ....well I have sewn on his first booties instead. A labor of love! I had been keeping the jeans to make a skirt for myself. I am so glad I didn't get around to it. I am keeping my fingers crossed now, hoping she likes it!

I would like to say thanks to Annette Sibson for the inspiration! She is a very talented artist. You can see her latest creations on display from 15th April to 22nd May at Umbrella Studio. 

 

The bag!
