We brought Laila to the airport last Sunday morning and this morning we took Ayla to the airport. She is on her way back to England as I write this.
Just making sure all the paperwork is here.
I asked Ayla if she wanted an Emma's Tree in a different colour than the Christmas one I made her and she said yes but she wanted it to go with her decor. She said her room was black and white - with red. The first one I cut up and put up for display was way too red so I cut some more black and white squares from the fat quarters that she selected and had her help to arrange them the way she wanted. It has a curtain ring hanger on the back so that she can hang it on her wall. I am currently working on a new bag for her but since she said there was no way that she could squeeze it in to her luggage, I didn't rush to finish it. When it's done, I will show the finished bag. She chose the fabric and the lining from my stash and all I had to buy was cording for the handle, a zipper and interfacing.
Oh dear, your house will be empty again. I love the tree you made for your daughter! You did a wonderful job with aranging the colors!
ReplyDeleteIt must be so difficult putting them on planes! I love the tree you made for her.
ReplyDeleteI bet you all had some tears when the girls left. I know I would have. Love the tree. Would you mind sending me the pattern? I would love to make some for gifts this year. I could send you something nice in exchange.
ReplyDeleteThe tree turned out beautifully. An unusual colour combination for it... but it works!
ReplyDeleteIt's always such a sad moment when you have to say goodbye but I'm glad that you were able to have some time with them:-) I just love that tree you made for her, you are so talented!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited that you are mailing me a pair of the Olympic mittens, I will let you know as soon as they arrive. Thank you SO much!! xoxo
Hi Dolores,
