As soon as weather took the unevitable turn to rain rain rain, my color palette changed, and out came browns, oranges, deep wine reds...
I am not the greatest sewer, and patchwork I usually leave for those who master it. But I've always said I wish my handmades to look like handmade too, and happily put together a patchwork-ish bag from my reused tweeds. And well...It would not be me and my makes if I didn't start decorating that...
So some needle felting here and there, and little wool yarns too for embroidery... Mostly on top, patchworked part, but a little on back too:
And this I ended up with:
The very first autumn-ish bag for this year, yippee! And you know me, never ever ever ever there's only one of my makes, and the more the merrier being my motto and all - second bag in making already:
And I can feel those pencil cases coming soon too... Happy August days to you!
Yours,
Mia

Hi V,
Thank you so much for visiting me here! Raining heavily here too, and I must finally say this "summer" might have come to its end, better luck next year! Wishing we will see some sunnier days still, until "C" perhaps ;) ?!?!?
Have a lovely day!
Yours,
Mia
What a gorgeous bag Mia, with a hint of autumn there. Our summer has been very mixed indeed but I still feel there is more sunshine to come. I'm glad you had a great August, such sunny colours in your work then.
Our Daisy has been staying with us since Sunday and goes home tomorrow..we have had the best times. Happy rest of the week my friend xxx
Hello Jane,
Thank you! Happy to hear you have had the sweetest Daisy to stay, she is little sunshine! I am counting on some beautiful days still to come, our summer was not great (beautifully put!) so lovely autumn is in order!
Happy and creative August days!
Yours,
Mia
Hello Mia,
I just saw this new blog entry. I am a fan of your booksmarks, I think the mushroom one is my fave.
It does feel more like autumn here, much cooler mornings and evenings. May it all be an inspiration for your newest creations.
See you here and on IG,

Ah, here in Guarulhos, Brazil, September means hotter days, trees in bloom and the end of strawberry season. I buy many strawberries on Fridays, for the weekend.
Thanks a lot for sharing your life and your handmades!!
