Good start for July

I've finished my sister's birthday present ! Tote bag and make-up purse to match. The day isn't until August, but on Saturday I'm packing the grandchildren :-) and we are flying down to stay with my sister for a week. So I'm taking the present with me and she can have it now to use when she goes on holiday.

The children are so excited as they can't remember being on a plane. And it gives them a chance to get to know part of the family they seldom see.

And here is grandson's jumper .. he picked the colours himself, so I hope he likes it. It's cotton, so just right for summer. At the moment it's so hot here, he only needs shorts and sun block! But best to be prepared as we never know how long it will last, so I must pack a little of this and a bit of that.

And I'm going to trace the latest Shabby Roses and a couple of Jenny's blocks in another colour to take with me. Can't have idle hands for a whole week!!

  3. Hi Anne-Lise--pray you have a safe trip and then lots of fun times while there with family. I am planning a quiet week end (I hope)even though it is a holiday weekend here in the States--have some sewing I want to do--as always--haven't been able to do much of that the last two days--it was grocery shopping and those kind of things yesterday and today was laundry and the farmer's mkt. Well take care--hugs, just, Di
