Your bags are lovely and the pictures are all so wonderful. Families are a blessing. I love to take pictures of all mine too, but sometimes they do get camera shy and tired of me with camera in hand all the time. But I believe that good times should be celebrated and pictures taken for memories of them too. Happy Birthday to all!
Hi, you have a nice weblog.

Fabulous bags - that keyboard fabric is perfect for a laptop bag - clever! Time with family is so important, and you've caught some wonderful memories in those pictures. Can't wait to see what comes next!
Hi Jan, x
Nice pictures. Family reunions are all about fun and loads of photos.
Love the laptop bag.

Those were nice gifts that you won. I love all those things you are sewing. I used to love to sew but I have lost interest in it now since it is so hard for me to sit very long. Happy Birthday's to the ones having Birthdays. Very good family pictures, the one of Maurice and Kizzy is so cute.
What gorgeous gifts from Gina and what lovely photos of your family! Lucy x
Thanks for the latest update. What at a talented friend you are. what glorious material you seem to find. I just love that one with the poppies on it...Also the one you made for your lovely Charlotte. do you think that handsome Iain would fancy being my "toy boy" LOL I could run away with him any day !!
Much Love Sybil x
I love all the bags you've made, especially the laptop bag, the keyboard fabric is fantastic, just the job! I'm glad the initials came in useful.
Your family all look lovely. What a joy to have such a close family!
Ooooh, I love the bags! As a new sewer that is one of the things I am going to try. I love the fabrics you chose.
Gorgeous bags...lots of happy family snaps!
WOW! I love those bags!! So cute! The tomato one and the Russian girls one, oh and the Playboy one---soooo cute!! :) Julie
Those are awesome bags. I wish I can sew..My mom does and she really want to get back at it. My Dad won't leave her alone. She would love your bags. I love the Laptop one and the one you made for Julie.. What a great combinations. Nice to see your family photos. Take care..>>HUGS2U<< Nancy
Hi Jan, I'm so pleased you liked your parcel and hope the colour of the corsage is okay. You've made some great bags... but I especially love that laptop fabric. Gina x
You are so clever as I have said before. I bought a sewing machine this week for hemming etc and little progects don't know where to start any suggestions. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Love Joan
You are clever, Jan, I have seen bags, not nearly such fun, featured in glossy mags for a lot of money.
Love the picture of Maurice and Kizzie!

Jan, I've tried to 'follow' your blog before but that 'Subscribe atom' link just gets me some text. How do I follow so that links to your posts come up on my dashboard whenever you make a new one? And why don't you have the usual blogspot 'Follow' link?
wowee its bags galore! love the russian doll one and the one with your name on x
Beautiful bags, Jan. You are a very talented lady! Ciao. A.
The bags are lovely, i struggle to even sew on a button.
Jenny <><
Russian Dolls, Laptop Keyboard and Playboy Bags are all beautiful and functional. You could make a bundle selling them online. Loved the photos of you and your family. Got a kick out of Kizzy on the scooter. Too cute for words.
Your bags are lovely Jan! I enjoyed seeing them all!

It is me back again! Lovely to see your family photos and beautiful handbags...you get more and more clever! Just caught up with your recent news. Glad you are still blogging....it is like time stood still!
Hi Jan-the poncho and the camel coat are musts for this season, try pairing your coat with a tan belt over the top to update the look too!! x

Oops! Sorry I'm late Jan but I don't get on the computer much now. Your bags are gorgeous Jan, and I know Charlotte will treasure her Playboy bag. You've got a lovely family, they all look so happy, must take after you! Kizzy looks like she's enjoying her ride on your scooter! Jeannette xx
Smashing bags, Jean, really lovely. I bet they all want one! Or two.
