The weather has been very changeable here and it’s been so wet for the past few days that I haven’t been able to get into the garden, a sprint to the greenhouse is just about all I can manage!! So gardening has been out, bulk cooking is out too as I have a full freezer. I never seem to have space to bulk cook much or is it just that I have a ridiculously small freezer space???? So I have been sewing again! 
I re-jigged the checked bag I made at the weekend as I wasn’t happy with the handles. A local craft store sells a small selection of wooden handles, so I picked a nice set to put on the check bag.
Then came reversible tote bag…………

I’m currently grappling with a grab bag pattern, attempt one last night didn’t go too well, I think I made the mistake of being determined (read stubborn and tired) last night to get it done, even when I wasn’t sure of where I was going with it. Hopefully this version will work a little better.
The fabric I’m using today come from my Freecycle stash, there’s lots to choose from and the bigger pieces left over have enough space to cut a square for my quilt :0)
I think the terminology for re-using items to make something else from them is “up-cycling” ? Plenty of up-cycling in this house then!
