Messing around with a bucket


I made another bucket bag today:

 This one seemed to take so much longer than the other one that I made, mainly due to the binding, which I made wider this time (and wish I hadn't-it wasn't worth the fuss) and me messing around with said binding
 The inside is yet another charity shop find - some silky purple bed linen - this photo doesn't do it justice
 So now this may be my bag of choice for the retreat in June: altho I have no idea what I could wear to co-ordinate with it!
It looks great against a white background, so something white I guess

None of our horses did anything spectacular on the national today.  I made my annual visit to the betting shop and fought my way through the crowds: I did smile at the 'Britishness' of it all - all of us there for our annual bet!!

  2. Shame about the betting - you could have splashed out on a white hat to go with your white outfit to go with your gloriously lovely bucket bag!
