Handmade Christmas Pledge Update - Bags on Madeit

Ok so once again we are a little over due but what the hell it was a really busy week and weekend.

Anyone that knows me knows that I love handbags. So this weeks post is all bags found on Madeit.

I love Paddington Bear with his duffel coat and hat, he's just so adorable.

As some of you might know I went back to TAFE recently and with all the textbooks and notebooks I have to carry I think that I'm going to have to get a bag that can fit it all. This one is great, I love the black with a touch of colour.

Handmade Christmas Pledge Update - Madeit

BIG UPDATE - The big pink quilt now has a new home, with me. Decided to buy it for myself for my birthday that was a couple of weeks ago.

This year I really want to support and show off Aussie artists and that is the reason behind having a separate Handmade Christmas Pledge update for Madeit Artists.

Once again the bright colours are what get me. They look fantastic. I think that I will be buying a quilt as my Christmas present to myself this year
