A very good friend of mine celebrated her birthday this week and I thought long and hard about what I could give her. In the end I settled on making her a door stop. There’s usually a fierce wind blowing here in Cambridgeshire and doors bang all day every day. Gesine loves the colour orange and a little while ago I saw a rust coloured fabric that made me think of her. I bought half a meter thinking I would make her a bag. I didn’t. It was on my mind for ages but somehow it just didn’t happen. Luckily I remembered the fabric and was able to use it for the door stop.<\/p>\n
