Something Blue

This month the colour for the Rainbow Challenge is blue and keeping this in mind I made an early start on the first  FNSI for 2018 using up some blue scraps.    I have two very good friends who are heading off to Vietnam in a couple of weeks time and while I will not be joining them in their travels I will send something along with them which  will enable me to  be there in name as well.    I  find when travelling that a drawstring bag is always a  handy item to have in my luggage for a number of things especially shoes.   I  made one for each of them - both the same and the photo below shows the front and the back of the bags.

The third friend in the group - who like me will not be joining them- and because I did not want her to feel left out I decided to make her an  origami bag - in shades blue of course.  I had already made the bag and only needed to slot through the ribbon tonight.

Sometime ago - about 4 years - I made a change pad for Miss M and there was a piece of the waterproof fabric left over which was put to good use today as well.   I always carry a bottle of water with me when going out for the day and I am sick of having a "wet patch" in my bag from condensation.   No more will this problem occur again.

As you can see the outside is  waterproof  and is lined  inside with terry toweling  to absorb any moisture.     I now have a dry bag and the water keeps cool inside its holder.   A win win situation.

Tomorrow hubs and I celebrate our wedding anniversary.    We are heading off to our favourite restaurant for lunch to celebrate.
