Bags of 2009

A slighty belated but still enthusiastic Happy New Year to you all! I have such a good vibe about 2010 - it's going to be a great year. I can feel it in my toes!

The snow has been keeping us busy for the past fortnight - I was very excited about Freya's first encounter with snow, although I think I was probably more enthralled than she was - the picture below is evidence of her taking it very much in her stride!


I thought I'd start 2010 with a quick review of some of my favourite bag, purse and pouch tutorials of 2009 (and a couple of sneaky 2010 one's too!).

Pictured (clockwise from top left):
