bluespiritI've just spent a fabulous weekend with my lovely ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xanthe.
As usual, there was non-stop chatting & laughing (& a fair amount of cake eating, too! *g*)
We also met up with the wonderfulgloria1 & flyingnorth for a brilliant 'chat' which actually lasted for 5 hours until the coffee shop closed down around us! LOL
Oh, & the weekend gave me the opportunity to test drive my new handbag that I've just made. My homage to the impeccable Lord Peter & his lovely lady, Harriet...
I mocked up the bookcover graphic in the style of the old Penguin books & printed it onto transfer paper which I ironed onto my fabric.
I then used that as the panel for the front of the bag. I'm really quite chuffed with how it turned out. :)
I used a couple of cute little penguin buttons to add some detail.

I just started to think about the way that a book can be so very bag shaped & went from there! *g*
