They got their yearbook and everyone had to write something in eachothers books.
A lot of entertainment and speeches.
And then there was time for receiving their graduation papers. My DD is standing at the left.
Getting her graduation papers.
While bringing my DD back home I went by the the quiltshop in Lier. My local quiltshop has two shops. One here in Elverum where I live and one in Lier. And my car was filled up with new fabrics for the shop here. Beautiful fabrics. And as a thank you for doing this I got this lovely Dandelion Girl layer cake. The fabrics are soooooooooo lovely.
And of course I had to buy some more of some of the fabrics. I bought this bag pattern from Melly and Me some days ago and when I saw this new fabrics I knew I had to make it from them.
So yesterday I cut the pieces and started to sew...............
And this is how far I got yesterday. Just have to add the handles to the bag now. I think I want to make more bags in this pattern and perhaps make it a little bit bigger. See a lot of possibilities in this pattern.
And I prepared the heart blocks for my adventcalendar. I've got a lot of comments on working on a christmas project now LOL. Never too early to start a project for christmas. Perhaps the chances to actually finish it this year have encreased. And stitching on such small pieces is so easy and fun while sitting on the porch.
I guess you all remember the secret project I showed a little glimpse of last weekend. Now it has been handed over to the receiver and I finally can show you. It's for Martine who had her konfirmasjon yesterday. I've transferred some photos over to fabric and made this little quilt for her. Her favorite colours are black and turquoise. And I'm proud to say that I've just used fabrics from my stash.
Saying for today:
Don't be afraid to strive to be first -
first to nod,
first to smile,
first to speak
and first to forgive.
