Handbags & parties

It's been another busy weekend - gotta love December!! LOL Mum and I spent yesterday making handbags from denim jeans. We didn't have a pattern, but had seen a few pics - so it was all guess work. The bags are lined with the same material as the belts. I am really happy with how great they turned out!!




We had our work Xmas party last night. It was a "Nightmare before Christmas" fancy dress theme, but we decided not to dress up this year. Instead I got a gorgeous new dress and even had my hair cut & coloured especially for the party. The dress was a bit too long, so I had to walk around all night holding it up slightly so I didn't trip over. Not an easy feat when you have a cocktail in the other hand! LOL It was a great night - lots of fun socialising with everyone.



Today Kylie, her mum and I went over to Cathie's for a lovely relaxing lunch with champagne, then floated around in the pool for awhile. We swapped Xams presents - I got a cute cupcake dish from Kylie and a Xmas serving platter from Cathie. The girls were pleased with their bags :o) I have been working on a third one tonight - I just need to buy some material for the lining & belt and it's finished!!
