Millie Moon

While we were away at camp we visited a little town in Somerset called Frome. We have never been there before and I didnt know that it is the town where Millie Moon is situated in the quaint little high street. I have been on Millie Moon website lots of times so I was very excited to find myself in the shop. However...as we had extra people travelling with us to camp I knew I wouldn't be able to buy very much due to lack of space so I just bought the fat quarters below. Not sure where I will use them yet but couldn't come away with nothing!

Home....briefly

We are back from our week of Bible Camp...great fun and good time of worship and teaching. My mother in law is now safely in a hospital in her home town in Cornwall and her husband managed to drive home from Ireland alone. I am off to Devon on the train on Sunday for a few days to help out at my daughter...cant wait to see these scally wags doing their ballet class on Tuesday. Don't know why I couldn't enlarge the bottom photo..it kept going out of focus

More Jam

At last school is finished for the summer. This week has been pretty hectic, we are due to go to New Wine Bible camp tomorrow, then my mother in law had a fall and has become quite unwell while visiting her family in Ireland so my husband flew out early this morning to bring her back to Cornwall tomorrow night. So this leaves me to tow the camping trailer which I have never done before. Thankfully I have a couple of friends travelling with me. When my mother in law has been settled into a hospital he will then join me. We are really hoping for a time of refreshing, relaxation and most of all meeting with God.

Last week a friend and I went fruit picking and I made some more jam, I love berries!

Elephant Mobile

My daughter asked if i would make a brightly coloured mobile to go above Gilby's cot. So I looked at a few ideas on the internet and decided to use felt. I made a paper pattern, drawing an elephant outline, cut out the felt, top stitched the two pieces of elephant together, leaving a small gap to fill with wadding and then finished off the stitching. I now need to find fine wire to use to make the bars for the elephant to hang from. I will try and remember to photograph the finished mobile.

Prada

I thought you might like to see a couple of the photo's my son took for his Prada shoot. They were delighted with how it went.

Basket

If you read my blog you will know I have a bit of a thing for baskets! This is one I have had for years, I like it because it zips up across the top but it is deep and dark and things can be lost for ever on the bottom. So I searched through my fabric stash for some strong, light coloured fabric. I drew a pattern on paper and made a lining for the basket, adding some side pockets,  putting it in place and hand stitching around the top edge.
