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&#8217;m almost, nearly at that point&#8230;the one where it is just time to come home already. And I&#8217;m definitely at that point where I&#8217;m ready to wrap my arms around my girls and give them great big hugs. I really, really (no REALLY!) miss them.<\/p>\n<p>So one more day here in jolly ol&#8217; England &#8211; we are off to see a cricket match &#8211; and then we are on our way to Michigan to pick up two weary travelers and then head home to LA!<\/p>\n<p>BUT, before I am off, a few birthday presents I finished up before our travels. I&#8217;m caught up through June&#8230;only July birthdays to work on now. (Yes, I&#8217;m well aware of the fact that it will be nearly August by the time I return. Thanks for pointing that out, though.)<\/p>\n<p>FINALLY finished a little lickety-split bag that has been cut out and on my ironing board since &#8211; and I&#8217;m not even kidding! &#8211; 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&#8230;or just stuff it with diapers for Sarah and dry clothes for the Z. man.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0006.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4810215976\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4115\/4810215976_cda6729c80.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0006.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0002.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4809584393\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4117\/4809584393_aea4e59557_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0002.jpg\" width=\"550\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And I finished up our sweet little friend Henry&#8217;s cape. He wanted a green horse birthday party when he turned three a few weeks ago. Green is his fave color&#8230;and his initials are H-H-H, hence the H3 little logo and his green cape. He loved it. I&#8217;ll have to grab some pics when we return.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0009.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4809599707\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4141\/4809599707_0154cebf4a_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0009.jpg\" width=\"800\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>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.\u00a0 Excuse the poor photos, I took the photos literally a few hours before I left the house for our vacation.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0126.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4810230532\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4143\/4810230532_65a449d49f_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0126.jpg\" width=\"750\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0127.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4810236848\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4119\/4810236848_c347290863_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0127.jpg\" width=\"796\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I promise I&#8217;ll be back to whittling down my blog reader in a few days, so let me know if you have some crafty goodness today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey there.
