Hey there. Remember me? This post was meant for last week, while I was camping, but is being brought to you this week (since I forgot to post this craftiness) this week whilst I am tromping around London with my sweet J. We are having a fantastic time, but I’m almost, nearly at that point…the one where it is just time to come home already. And I’m definitely at that point where I’m ready to wrap my arms around my girls and give them great big hugs. I really, really (no REALLY!) miss them.

So one more day here in jolly ol’ England – we are off to see a cricket match – and then we are on our way to Michigan to pick up two weary travelers and then head home to LA!

BUT, before I am off, a few birthday presents I finished up before our travels. I’m caught up through June…only July birthdays to work on now. (Yes, I’m well aware of the fact that it will be nearly August by the time I return. Thanks for pointing that out, though.)

FINALLY finished a little lickety-split bag that has been cut out and on my ironing board since – and I’m not even kidding! – MARCH! Happy Birthday, Vic. I hope you like it. I actually made it a little larger than the pattern in hopes that she could slide her laptop in there when she needs to traipse off to U of M…or just stuff it with diapers for Sarah and dry clothes for the Z. man.

And I finished up our sweet little friend Henry’s cape. He wanted a green horse birthday party when he turned three a few weeks ago. Green is his fave color…and his initials are H-H-H, hence the H3 little logo and his green cape. He loved it. I’ll have to grab some pics when we return.

And finally finished up a little messenger bag for my sweet niece who turned 7 when she was visiting California a few weeks ago. She requested a pink bag. And that is what she got.  Excuse the poor photos, I took the photos literally a few hours before I left the house for our vacation.

I promise I’ll be back to whittling down my blog reader in a few days, so let me know if you have some crafty goodness today!
