It’s that Monday feeling …

It’s a typical November morning, here in Hampshire …
still, grey and peaceful. I like November. It’s my special month – on the cusp of Autumn and Winter. We have birthdays here at home and Christmas to look forward to. Yes, I do look forward to Christmas. We don’t go mad with presents these days. The children are happier with money, a Christmas stocking and a new jumper (no, not knitted by me with a reindeer on the front)! Good old M&S can’t be beaten for boy’s jumpers and a stocking isn’t a stocking with a new pack of undies tucked in!
Looks as though they’ll all be home, so the house will be bursting at the seams and I’ll take over the stove & oven – but I love it!
Before the holidays though, there’s sewing to be done as Christmas Fair season gets into full swing!
Thought you may like to see the latest purses and wallets …
Not sure what the collective nouns are for purses & wallets – do you know? I made most of the wallets in Cornwall a couple of weeks ago – never go on holiday without a sewing machine – now there’s a good motto!
I’ve enjoyed my 20 minutes of peace & quiet this morning, blogging and choosing photos. There’s a warm collie at my feet and a little duck tapping at the back door. She’s just waddled off down the garden, to lay today’s egg no doubt! She’s a bit of a madam and has several nests around the garden. It’s like Easter every day – an egg hunt every morning!
Have a lovely week. Have a Happy Birthday Jack. Pop over to Wendy’s 1st Unique Gifts blog to see what everyone else has been making for Handmade Monday – thanks Wendy.

I love Christmas and think it is what you make of it not all the gifts etc good food a drop of wine and not forgetting the choccies.
Love the purse collection not sure what the word is either.

What really pretty purses… not sure of the official collective noun but I think a clutch of purses and bags sounds good:) I have never understood how you get the fabric and metal parts to join neatly… yours look brilliant!

The purses and wallets look great, so pretty especially compared to a lot of the rubbish mass produced ones. I’d love to go hunting for eggs in the morning, maybe one day i’ll have a home with enough land to have a few ducks and chickens! x

Flora found us by accident – we didn’t ever intend keeping a duck! If you have a look in Claws & Paws back in May – you’ll see her as a day old chick, when I found her abandoned! She’s such a wonderful character and great addition to our family!

Your purses are lovely, I’ve just had a catch up of your blog, there are some lovely photo’s of your holiday and Autumn. Happy birthday for last week and I’m glad you are feeling better now. If I had to pick a word for a group of purses I’d probably choose a Profusion of Purses. :o)

Really like the beige and red wallet. I wish I could make something like the snap close purses but I wouldn’t know where to start. The look absolutely fantastic!

Wow, those are so pretty, especially the wallets. You make them sound like you just whip them up! I imagine I could make a mess of that. LOL And the thought of a duck knocking on the door to announce she was laying an egg somewhere for me to find. It all sounds so enchanting, like you live in a fairy tale. Why did my ancestors ever cross the big pond? 🙂

It doesn’t always feel like a fairytale, but Flora has brought a special kind of magic with her! I never knew that ducks had such character!
