Please excuse the photo quality - I only have my mobile phone on hand
In my creative space today (errr well yesterday anyway)....
I finally finished Susan's long delayed camera bag (sorry Susan)!
There were a few things that I forgot to pack and bring along with me, but I'd finished the machine stitching on this Monday morning, and I knew that I only had the finishing touches of hand stitching left to do. It's actually one of my favourite things to do right at the very end. It somehow makes it feel more handmade to me, when the last little bit is finished off by hand.
It's now on it's way to Susan, via Cathie (thanks so much Cathie)!
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the camera fits.
Also in my creative space - two very cute little munchkins came to visit yesterday and kept busy with lots of lovely oil pastel drawings. Just in case you haven't guessed it, on the left is a Hippo, and on the right is a very scary Lion!
A huge thankyou must go out to everyone who sent me get well wishes, and who took me up on my challenge to write extra blog posts to keep me entertained. I've hardly even had time to watch tv... I've been up to my ears in crafty reading on the internet instead!
Make sure to pop on over and visit Kirsty and check out all the other wonderful creative spaces on the list!

It's gorgeous, Cam! I really love that I&S fabric, and it works so well for that bag.
I'm glad you're finding some extra entertainment! Hopefully you will only need it for a little while longer...?
Gorgeous. Very clever. You really can make pretty much anything, can't you? Get well soon. Lou.
Another marvelous camera bag.
Loving the drawings too. Very cool indeedy.
Take care Cam. Thinking of you.
That is a very scary lion - raaaaaaarr!
I'm sure Susan is going to love her camera bag as much as love mine!
Oooo - that is a very lovely camera bag! I love the shape. Well done! You need to turn this into an e-pattern and put it up for sale - I'd buy it! I have a couple of friends who'd love a bag like this for their cameras.
Oh wow! I second the comment above - i'd buy the pattern for this in a second (well, I'd probably just buy the bag already made 'cos I don't think I could sew THAT!).
Love the fabric choice - I used some in my creative space today as well.
Gorgeous camera bag. Love the shape and colour. The lion and hippo are extremely good too. Very impressive drawing. Hope you are home soon.
Love that camera bag!
Hope you you are feeling better soon :)

Off to write you a blog post!
love the bag, it looks really fantastic, turned out great!
that is so bloody good...such a cool print and bag shape. its a fine line between going onto other blogs for inspiration and getting demoralised by how un-skilled I am!!
I love the camera bag. That is awesome. I've been wanting to make something like that for my friend Sinead who is a hard core photographer. That must have been very fun to make!
Hope you are feeling better.
