Summer (!) School Holidays

Means less time to sew than ever!

But it also means trying to spend time doing fun stuff...

weather permitting!

We keep hearing how other parts

of the country have glorious sunshine.

Not us! Today it poured with rain again
as I drove to fetch the boys from Grandma.

Yes, you read right!

I am driving again.

Just short journeys to get back into it,

but it certainly feels good to be free again!!

Last weekend we went for a picnic

in the fells.

The kids love it there

and we can sit on a quilt

and watch them paddle and potter around.

Baby-Kalico loves crawling around

 trying to eat the long grasses :)

I am so behind on my blog!

I forgot to post that the week before last,

a friend came to visit

 and while she looked after our 2 girls,

I sewed up some dribbly bibs for her daughter.

Here the 2 girls are modelling my samples...

I didn't sew Miss-Kalico any,

as she's a weirdly non-dribbly baby ;)

But her friend has enjoyed testing her bibs out...

Even though it's exhausting work!

Miss Kalico is now 9 months old and

has been enjoying the singalong at a local coffee shop

 where the shop owner

has kindly stocked some of my sewn items...

I'm never going to be rich,

but it helps make the school holidays

a little bit more fun :)

Here's a parting shot

of Miss K on 'my' quilt...

 Nothing is sacred in this house :)
