Lunch bags 1

Yes, Lunch bags and this is the first post.

Initially I decided to make one for my husband who is caring his lunch box in a shabby plastic bag. But while browsing in the Internet I found so many nice ideas that decided to try multiple options. This one which I am presenting here is the one chosen by my husband others are ready but waiting for adding a final touch.

Pencil case

I just found this tutorial while browsing for something else. And suddenly it clicked that that's what I really need for myself. As when attending my dancing classes I always have problems finding a pen or a pencil in my bag. That it's become so frustrating, not to mention about funding an eraser among all the books and copybooks and all the stuff inside.

And of course I could not resist attaching a cake pendant.

Bracelet and a key chain from polymer clay

I am continuing my experiments with assembling some items from all the cakes and fruit canes I prepared before. 

I'm very sorry for the picture because I finished them late in the night and the next day morning my parents in law left and took them for gifts and sale for their relatives. So there was no possibility to take a proper picture.

Felted Bag

Here is the outcome of the felting tutorial which I attended during my stay in Nizhniy Novgorod in Russia. 
Though the word "tutorial" sounds very officially. I was felting at the cozy kitchen at home of  a very friendly lady Tatyana Nesterenko, whose felting articles I really admire, and of course I had been waiting and planning my visit to her place far ahead  with intention to learn how to felt bags.

Here is her shop with really remarkable and amazing bags, purses and other cute articles.

It took almost all day to felt this small purse, of course with lunch and tea-coffee brakes. We started around 9 a.m. and finished at 7 p.m. 
Here are the pictures made by Tatyana's husband capturing the process of felting and drawing with wool. It's very interesting activity but also tiring because it requires good amount of strength and stamina to felt the wool.

New portion of cakes and something more

I could not resist to make some more charming cakes. And already tried to use them in creating some items and even jewelry.
