Love Azuma bag !

Azuma bag is traditionall made of Furoshiki (japanese wrapping cloth). It is very useful as a shopping bag, lunch bag, lingerie bag etc as the bag can be folded easily. And it is sooo easy to make !

I can bring it everywhere in my bag as folded. When I need I just tie the strap parts. That's it !

The crochet part has been finished for a while. It just took time to find nice wooden buttons. I found them at la droguerie in Toulouse, France.

I am so happy the result I put it on sale at my etsy shop.

Ecolocco pouch - trial

Ecolocco pouch

My first felt pouch with Midori from Ecolocco.

This is just a trial. The pouch isn't even lined and has lots of things to be improved.

I enjoyed hand-sewing those tree appliques. Aren't they cute ?

Blue beach bag

I just made this bag last week. I don't have anymore plan to go to the beach for this summer though...

blue beach bag

This bag can be used as shopping bag until next summer. As soon as I told so to my husband, his suspicious face appeared. "Does it sturdy enough to carry all our groceries ? "

Ok, we need to test it.

For a first try, we brought it to a local market and put inside mainly heavy-classed fruits and veg ( 1 melon, 4 grapefruits, 6 bananas and 1 big zucchini, a couple of onions ) . No problem !! Yeees!

And another best part is that this "shopping" bag coud be hooked over the hundles of ous son's stroller. I do even not have to carry it when I do some groceries with my son, which means every time I go to the market !

Now I don't know whether this "beach" bag will be used next summer for its original purposes ...

Internationale Poppen-en berenbeurs @ Bruges

Yesterday I visited the doll & bear fair in Bruges. I got lots of inspiration from the works exhibited there !

























Most of bears are one-of-a-kind and fully handmade. It is amazing each of them has different expression.

















I like walking around in Bruges. This is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe indeed. Even the rain can't stop me from admiring its splendid monuments, gorgeous squares and pretty canal...
