Forgive me bloggers it has been 3 long days since my last blog

Hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend. Mine was good but quiet, we don't tend to venture too far on a bank holiday as traffic is usually terrible. So we went to the supermarket, then had the rest of saturday and sunday at home and then did a little bit of shopping on Monday.
Bank holidays always throw me off a bit day wise. I find myself wondering what day of the week it is after the long weekend. I have to keep asking hubby what day we're on, I'm usually a day behind all week and then all of a sudden its the weekend again. 
Hubby was back to work today and I was back to the sewing machine again. I was in the mood for sewing and so I decided to make a few more shopping bags. They're just the same sort of simple shopper as before but this time with a longer handle so they can be carried on the shoulder as well as by hand.
Tonight I added a few more items of jewellery onto my website. I made some new pieces before the last fair I had and swapped the stock over in the shop that sells some of my womens jewellery too so we have quite a bit to add. We've got a bit behind on keeping it upto date lately though with hubby being on holiday and then working early for a couple of weeks but we've made a start and hopefully we'll have everything on there soon.

Great day sewing

Last week a work friend of my hubby asked if I would like to make some fabric shopping bags for him to sell in his fruit & veg shop. I said yes and made him a couple last week and then today he asked if I would make four more so thats how I've spent my day sewing shopping bags. Good way to spend a day in my book.
He'd asked if he could have a label or something on them saying his shop name so hubby bought some transfer printer paper and printed off his shop name for me today. According to the instructions you placed the paper ink side down onto fabric then ironed over the backing paper. There were green circles with brown irons printed on the backing paper and when you ironed it the circle changed colour to brown like the iron. So there I was ironing away and no colour change.

For about twenty minutes I stood there ironing it but no colour change. The paper had stuck to the fabric but still not changed colour so I decided enough was enough and something obviously wasn't working so I quit ironing , it never was my favourite job so I wasn't thrilled about ironing something for twenty minutes which might not even have worked. 
I left the paper to cool and surprisingly when the paper had cooled and I peeled the backing off the transfer had worked. I'm not sure how long I should have ironed it for but at least it worked in the end which was a relief so I cut them out and stitched them onto the inside of the bags I'd made.  Hubby will take them into work for me tomorrow they do come in useful don't they hubbys.
