Summer!



The Summer holidays are here. The last few weeks have been a marathon to reach the end of the school year. I've never known a summer term be so busy with all Sophia's social calendar to negotiate amongst everything else! I am looking forward to lazy mornings, relaxing, catching up with friends and a bit of sewing and knitting here and there! The sewing and knitting has been slow of late but am hoping to have catch up time over the hols. There are still so many projects to complete yet I am still buying more fabric! We've just returned from a fabulous mini-mini-break (basically one night away) in the Surrey village of Abinger Common. We stayed in a lovely B&B called Leylands Farm which essentially had its own guest annexe. It's location, between Guildford and Dorking, gave me the perfect opportunity to visit The Quilt Room. I bought (yet another and pictured above!) jelly roll - Bliss by Bonnie and Camille, which I've been hankering after for ages! Also pictured above is my summer project - the rainbow camper. It is a counted cross stitch kit that I saw on the Clothkits website and I just had to have! I'm not the greatest fan of cross-stitch, well not the framed variety, but this I plan to turn into a funky cushion! As always I have my work cut out!
