Holiday sewing

Tomorrow we go on our Summer Holiday, yippee! I remember our family always having a summer holiday at a beach, sometimes tenting, sometimes in a bach (NZ beach house) and even a few times in a converted tram car.  With seven children it was no mean feat for my parents to organise and there would be quite a bit of tension in the air on packing day.  Once we had safely arrived the tension seemed to magically disappear and we could all get down to the business of enjoying ourselves.  We have continued that tradition on with our children and my year doesn't feel like it has started properly until we have had our January beach holiday.  We have tented for many years but this year we have booked a two room cabin at the camping ground we regularly go to at Papamoa.  Luxury.  As I ignored my Vignette quilt for most of 2012 I have decided that will be my holiday sewing and I am also packing a Christmas decoration kit for a bit of variety.  See you in ten days, Wendy xx

    Have a wonderful holiday. I love that little coat ornament - I hope you'll show it to us when you've finished it.

    Enjoy Wendy & Charlie & the men. I remember going to a bach in Totaranui. The floor sloped, it was a long drop toilet & in the front room was a grand piano with a vase on it. My cousin who was 15 years old than me (so old enough to know better) delighted in telling me, it was Barry's Dads burial urn. Scared the pants off me at about 10 years of age but we did have such fun holidays.Happy stitching too. Tracee xx
