r & d…. and a little more..

research and development is something that I think every creative person should find time to do, but to be honest rarely gets the chance, or is that just me ?

But this Sunday I managed to start work on an idea that I have had for a while, so here is prototype one,

A little pouch, but not just any sort of little pouch, one to keep a fold up bag in, a nice one : )
But that one doesn’t look right, so I moved onto prototype two,

Much much better, so woo-hoo a result, but hang on no bag! So I made a bag, bigger than normal, with a gussett, and I think it is a pretty good size for doing food shopping.

I guess it doesn’t look too great hanging here, but it had just been man handled by me!

So put the bag into the pouch,

and oops, hmm, I think maybe I should have made the bag first and then the pouch, but the pouch is really the biggest I wanted to make it, 4″ x 4.5″, so what do I do? Also costings, it took quite a while to make, not excessive, but I bought a little fold up bag from Sainsburys, smaller mind you, for £3.50! So back to the drawing board!

So there you are a bit of creative r & d : )

Now, yesterdays post, looking at it again I realise how completely vague it is, so a little more explanation.
I was really angry when I wrote that post, and after writing it I felt so much better, I can’t really say too much, but when I was saying about me saying sorry, it was me saying sorry for one of my boys, and I just couldn’t mean it, but that would not have been acceptable to the person/persons I was saying it to, so to be even vaguer, all I can say is ’cause and effect’. So if you were looking for an explanation, I think I have just made it even more confusing!

Now to finish off nicely, and I do mean nicely, have a peek here, I think for most people a little tease can go quite a long way : )
