Malaga trip

Dave and I have spent a few days in Malaga at the Hotel Soho Boutique. We were celebrating my 60th birthday (cant believe that). We have loved wandering around the old city centre and the port, enjoying the historical sites, shopping and eating out.
Can thoroughly recommend the hotel, which is very central, comfortable and has only been open for 3 months. Will definitely be back! !!

Recycled denim messenger bag

By using an old pair of Daves jeans I have made myself a messenger bag.  It is fully lined with inside pockets to hold my phone and purse. The jeans zip closure works well, and the outer pockets are handy.
The band at the back of the bag enables it to be secured to the handles of my suitcase.
It is all trimmed with bias binding made from an old shirt too.

Getting back to normal

Following our holiday, it has taken a while to get used to the colder weather here in Competa.
We have booked a break in Malaga later on this month as it will be my 60th birthday.
Everyone has been asking about our holiday, and I have been showing them the photos.
I ordered some material which arrived last week and I am going to make myself a dress for the summer.
Meanwhile I am making a messenger bag with a pair of old jeans.
Here are the photos so far.
Off to knitting class just now :)
