A girls trip to London and new bag,


Just finished this new bag,

Bag, fisherman

I'm pleased with the result, and love the warmth of the colors and look of the bag.

tas, visser 005

The checked fabric and the wide band are also doing well together, don't you think?

A GIRLS TRIP TO LONDON,

Yes, my daughter and me are going to Londen for a few days in October, just the two of us, the girls in the house!

London

It was her idea to ask this as a gift for het 14th birthday.. she's saving money for this trip to do a lot of shopping. (me too of course)

We booked our flight but have to book our hotel or BB.

If any of you have great London ideas for us,
it can be anything, a nice BB or hotel, lovely shops, vintage shops, places to lunch, etc....

We'll love it and be greatful!

This is it for now... groetjes,

Except that he has grown this summer, he is still very naughty and funny and we all love our Bear!

First he looks around... and when no one is watching.....

Sewing

I don't want to make my blog into a 'cat blog' .. but our kitten 'bear' discovered a new area in the house...

My sewing room!!



Perhaps he has creative aspirations...

Meanwhile I almost finished my apron for the apron swap!

Blogging again

Hello again,
We had a two week vacation by the sea. It was great!
But now it's time to start catching up with blogging and I'm far behind reading all your lovely blogs, and please forgive me for not answering your comments.

We took our cat 'Bear' allong with us and he did great!
He is growing real fast and is being naughty and cute at the same time.
