The material is a heavy weight jersey in a random patchwork design and it was a real bargain from the sale rack.
It looks good with jeans and ...
... a skirt.
My second completed project is a fully lined bag in summery pink fabric:
A work in progress in the loft room.
The finished result.
The patterned material was from the sale rack and I have enough material left to make another bag, so great value all round.
With all the sewing and knitting projects on the go, I haven't had much time for reading, but I'm slowly working my way through this gem:
I haven't abandoned my Catholic Christian faith but there are some very practical suggestions in the book regarding caring for oneself as a mother and trying to be mindful in the moments of everyday living.

These are so lovely! You are so talented!
The book looks interesting. I would like to recommend two other books like that. The first one was one of the best parenting books I ever read called Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting. The second one is for children and is actually by a British author called Buddha at Bedtime. It would be a great fit for Benedict because the stories are basically fables.
Yes, you are so talented! I have that book too, its great, and I second the other comments on Everyday Blessings.xx
What a pretty top, that really suits you! :)
Thanks for the lovely comments and the recommended reading material!
