Fresh Sewing Day and Small Blog Meet

I wait all year for August and it goes in a flash.  August to me means summer holidays, sunshine, swimming and, this year, not a lot of sewing.  Well my daughters did some cross stitching with these gorgeous little kits from Abakhan:


And time was spent in the pool:


And in the pool bar:


And some time was spent parascending (I went up too - three times):


Oh and possibly some time was spent in the non-pool bar too:


And after all this sunshine, I did throw together a quilt on my return using the new Sansui Japanese line from Makower:


And up close...

  9. That is the best description of August and exactly what I did!
    But I am a complete wuss when it comes to heights and have avoided parascending for years, even when friends have done it!!!
