It’s actually been nice to get some use out of my sunglasses this week! It’s about the only good thing about the heat!

My old sunglasses were bent out of shape and very scratched because I would just chuck them in my bag or keep them in the door pocket in my car.

Since keeping them in a padded glasses case, they have stayed good as new - and I can actually find them when I need them!

Do you look after your sun glasses or are you still giving them a hard time?

I don’t know about you but I have often been found scrabbling around in my bag to find my keys or my lip balm!!

You know it’s in there and you end up having to empty your whole bag to find it - and it’s always the last thing to come out 🤣

I’m so much more organised now that I have lots of these zipper pouches. I store so many things in them and now it’s easy to find everything.

My work one has all my essentials in but I think I may need another one for my phone and keys!!

Is this something you would use to keep organised or are you doomed to do the bag scrabble forever !!!

Good morning!! Another hot day is on the cards. It was almost 32 degrees in my classroom yesterday. Just awful 😞

I thought I would cheer myself up today by reminding myself of some of the wonderful reviews I have had lately!!

They really do mean the world to small businesses so thank you so much ☺️

Enjoy your day and keep cool 😎

Want something a little different to keep your book in?

This gorgeous fabric is perfect for those who like to read something a little dangerous or scary!
What do you reckon? Magical, Crime, Murder mystery?

What sort of genre do you think would go in this book sleeve?

PS shameless plug of my brother’s book that he has written which is a fantasy adventure story - I think that one goes quite well!

Good morning! How did we all sleep? My new fan was amazing 🤩

I made these a couple of weeks ago and have only got round to showing you now! These are all a restock of ones that have sold out.

Quite a few of you were asking about the navy blue fabric so be quick if you want one - there’s only one left!!

Check out the pinned post at the top to find out how to get yours!!

Right, off to the sweatbox… what’s your one too tip to keep cool?

Good morning!
I slept really badly again – I’m just so hot and it’s not even the heat wave yet!

Thought I would show off this lovely blue gingham makeup bag today. It can fit a fair bit in and it is perfect for popping into your work or travel bag.

What do you think to the bow detail on the zip?

Good morning! How are you doing in the heat?
Yesterday I pinched my son’s fan and put it next to me while I was sewing. Game changer! I must get myself one.

I managed to make an epic 8 book sleeves and 17 glasses cases!! ( I had done the cutting out previously!!) I’ll get round to showing you all of those soon but in the meantime I thought I would remind you that I have a few of these bow style book pouches in the e sh@p.

I absolutely adore this blue floral one. It would make reading such a treat and a special event. I try to read more in the summer rather than watch tv.

How about you?

Happy Friday! Well, all my reports are written for another year. That’s got to be one of THE worst jobs I have to do as a teacher.

So today is my Patchwork Mouse day ❤️
I have a stack of glasses cases to finish and then I am going to list a few more of my Christmas crackers.

Can you believe I have sold a couple of Christmas bits already!!!

Who shudders at the thought and who is quietly getting organised here and there?

Oh… and isn’t this book sleeve so bright and cheerful!!!! One to pop on the Christmas gift list?

Good morning!
Hooray it’s my Thursday morning off!!

How do you like this gorgeous pink package?

If you are fan of pink, you will love the pink book covers and glasses cases that I am working on at the moment.

So, you all know that I love pink. I am wondering what your favourite colour is?

Are you looking for a thoughtful gift for a friend or relative?

How about the gorgeous bumble bee padded book cover? You could pop their favourite book inside or a book token. They are also fab for keeping notebooks in!

If you are quick you might be able to bag the matching glasses case and get 10% off at the check out!

Do you have any friends or family who are bookworms?
