I've started a new small project for those times when I have the chance to put a few stitches in. After a lengthy stash dive I decided to go for Just Nan's 20 Flowers scissor case.

I also treated myself to a new tote for my wips. I've liked Orla Kiely patterns for a long time but her bags are usually out of my price range, so when I found that my local supermarket is selling this canvas tote for charity I had to get one.

Gorgeous pieces and what a fun new bag!!!!
Love your new wip bag!! I'm a sucker for a great-looking bag. :)
Nice WIPs! I love Ora Kiely too, but like you, have only admired and not bought. Lucky you to find that tote!
Beautiful colours Karoline, good to see the small ones let you stitch now and then:))
Your WIPs are both lovely. But the BAG! *swoon*
Your Sunflower Bellpull is just beautiful, and I hope you enjoy your new stitch! What a cheerful tote!
I don't know about Ora Kiely - since I am such a "bag lady" - I have to find out straight away about these bags. Love your DT piece - you'll be done soon and your new start looks like fun. Hope the kids enjoy Easter. Melody
Lovely update Karoline, look forward to seeing more of the Just Nan piece.

Love your finish, the sunflowers are so pretty. I love Orla's bags too and am a bit jealous you found such a cool tote for you WIPs that is her design. What a great find!
Great WIPs, and gorgeous bag!
Karoline, first, I just have to tell you that the daffodils at the top of your blog are so gorgeous! Love your beautiful Drawn Thread WIP. Wonderful tote bag, just perfect for your stitching too!
What a cute tote bag!
You're making great progress on your Sunflower bellpull; congratulations!
Lovely stitching! Cute new bag, too.
Very pretty Drawn Thread piece and lovely tote, it looks really roomy.
Glad to see you're getting some stitching time!
Both your WIPs are beautiful!
Cute bag, and your WIPs look good. Keep up the good work!!
I love bags too! I really like your WIP. Your kids are too cute.
I love, love love that bag and just wish Tesco would have something like that when I get to UK.
Beautiful stitching on the WIPS.
