It's my sister-in-law's birthday today and I had no card, no present and no idea, even if I had them, when I would get over to give them to her.

Not that I was panicking or anything.

Oh and did I mention I had a hospital appointment that was going to take up half the morning too?

So, there I was, running out of time big time, but fortunately I at least knew what I had in mind for her....just as long as it worked.

She and my brother travel a lot...and I mean A LOT! (me, jealous? well, actually, yeah, I am!) and one of the things I love having with me, when I do get to travel, is pretty accessories to organise my packing. My lovely friend, Tara, who is going off on her own travelling adventure tomorrow, showed me something similar that she has for her smalls and it was something I was wanting to try for a while now.

Perfect opportunity and as it turned out a perfect present because, guess what my brother bought her for her birthday? Only a 4 day trip to New York! As I said, me, jealous? Yeah, just a bit...

I've been playing around with a new pouch design. I love the versatile stand-up variety that I have been making in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but they don't suit all needs.

This new design has come about by the need to lay some things flat, whether it be hankies, jewellery whilst on ones travels, or even somewhere to store ones smalls.

I love this crisp linen and it feels like such a little luxury item.

They will be available in varying sizes and also a coordinating one for the boys. After all they need somewhere to store their smalls too...

This size is currently available here.
