Bye Bye Winter!!!

Today is the 31st August …. the last day of Winter YAY!!!!!!

Tomorrow is 1st September … the first day of Spring YAY!!!!!!!

I’m *so* over Winter!!!

I thought I’d better hurry up and post a few piccies for my last OPAM finishes for August. I made these two cute little camera pouches – one for me (the brown one) and one for Bear (DD2).August 2010 171We bought DD2 a camera for Christmas and because we are going away on our big trip soon we decided to give it to her now rather than wait, so that she can take lots of lovely pics while we’re on hols … so of course she had to have a little case for it. Judith … I hope that counts as an Early Bird Chrissy pressie … even though it’s been received already lol.

I’ve also been dabbling in a bit of crocheting …August 2010 168 I like to have something to do in the evenings, I can’t sit and watch the tele without something to stitch or crochet. August 2010 170 I’ve got another of these in the making too, they’re fun to do :o).

And the last thing I made was this …August 2010 138 This is a banner for my stand at the local quilt show in a week or so … I just printed my website logo onto some fabric and then put a pastel-y floral frame around it ……… I think it looks pretty :o).

I’d better be off … the kids are coming over for a roast so I’d better get back in my kitchen lol.

See you in Spring :o)!!!!!!!

Well happy spring! You know, I always used to buy myself a bouquet of tulips on the first day of spring - it was quite the ritual for me. Even if it still looked like winter outside, I had spring in my kitchen.

Love your camera pouches, and your crocheting, I love to crochet too - I'm the same way, just can't sit there and watch tv. Have to be doing something!
Your banner is just gorgeous, what a clever girl you are!
