Patchwork case for an Apple MacBook
A quick post to show the now finished laptop case. Daughter No 3 used big press studs with a brass finish for closing. She hasn’t used these before so we’re interested to see how well they perform.
The last apple has fallen from our ancient apple tree but the leaves are holding on tenaciously.
Will post again later on today to show another Fair Isle cardigan.

Ready to embroider some more monograms but being short of time right now, I contented myself with sprucing up these monogramed shoe bags I made for daughter No 1 and her husband a few years ago. (A requested Christmas present – would that presents were always so easy!)

The bags were just a bit worse for wear – well what can you expect when you put shoes in them – so I washed them, replaced the cords where necessary and realised they are exactly what I need to make for myself – though I will be happy with unadorned and purely functional versions which will be miles better for me – and the planet – than using a couple of now quite hard-to-find plastic bags.
For those of you wanting something a bit more interesting in a blog post, do look at the vicar’s blog where he describes what he got up to one Saturday while I was away in London. (To whet your appetite further, I’ll tell you he helped lead study sessions at The Wilson, Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum where the focus was on the art work of Edward Wilson, Scott’s naturalist on the Antarctic expedition.)
