Inspiration
can come at the strangest of times, I was in a local toy shop, and became fascinated
by the transformer toys, these brightly coloured boy's toys that with a click
here and a click there turn from monster to car or what ever. I love this idea
of one thing being several different items, so when I had to make some bags for
a magazine I had at the back of my mind the transformer idea! (Blame it on a lack
of tea!).
I
have now made transformer bags for gardening (the inner part is lined with plastic
for trips to the compost), holiday bags, this time the inner bag, forms a pillow
for the beach (or wait at the airport) and the workshop bag which I am particularly
pleased with, so pleased I have photographed it for this page. This
one has nice pockets on the outside for the trip to the workshop, rotary cutter,
scissors, needle case, threads, all in place, the inner bag holds fabrics, lunch
and the like. |
| | | | | | | | |  | | When
you get to the workshop the outer section unclips and sits next to your machine,
holding all your goodies safe. No more "where are my scissors", are
these your needles? Everything next to you and ready to work. The
larger bag sits on the floor holding fabric and anything else. I am dead pleased
with these, so you never know, be ready for inspiration to strike. |

Of
course transformation is very much in evidence at this time of year, from cold
earth my garden is now erupting into colours. I love the brightness of daffodils,
but in truth my heart belongs to tulips, the colours are so varied along with
the shapes. I have frilly ones, doubles, fluted, parrots, I love them all. I feel
that a quilt will come from these, no subtlety, just in your face, blinding colour,
cor! | |  |

those who have asked for an update, Pearl is now fully in control of my home and
office, it's a wonder that 7 kilos can hold so much personality. Lily
our rescue staffi cross American bulldog, is totally devoted, they do make a strange
pair. |
