"Heidi" bag

[louiselux]

"A beautiful wholesome bag, designed to put you in mind of innocent youthfulness, log cabins on grassy mountainsides, and Grandfather."

All the time I was making this I was thinking of that BBC childrens tv series that was possibly made in alliance with some Swiss tv company, and Heidi was an adorable curly haired moppet with a piercing voice. My mental notes on Heidi go: Heidi - is shipped away to (or poss from? or both?) log cabin on grassy moutainside with Grandfather. Grandfather dies? Other plot points - don't know. Ending - don't know.

OMFG.

Did you make this for you? Or do you make them to sell? Because I would SO buy this!

(Why yes, my wee sister is in fact named Heidi, because when I was nine years old and my mum was pregnant with wee sister, I was reading the sequels ['Heidi Grows Up' and 'Heidi's Children'] written by Joanna Spiri's translator.)

...fuck. It is only just this moment striking me that my wee sister is named Heidi BECAUSE I WAS READING (authorised, published) HEIDI FANFIC AT THE TIME.

Ahem. So, yeah - if this isn't something you're selling - how did you make it? Because this combines two of my favourite things. (And I'm pretty sure that I used to have that very edition, actually - being from a family of people who DON'T much read, I seem to have inherited quite a lot of books of the published-to-go-together-on-a-shelf-and-look-pretty-and-never-be-read variety. Which creep me out, rather. They're like Stepford Books, or something.)
