We visited our son in Upington this past weekend
and here we went over the mighty Orange River, in
the Northern Cape.



Here is Benjamin (8) our oldest grandson


and here is Liam our youngest grandson aged 2
This was taken after they had a bath on Saturday
evening. The photos are not great but I was only
allowed to take one of each, instructions by oldest
grandson who does not like to be photographed.
I am a bit sore today after being the catcher of balls
in eldest favorite game of cricket.

I made this bag for my sister with the lovely girly
fabric that I got from her. I also then used the
stitchery of grown girls for the other side. Just came
out so nice. I hope she likes it.

This is a wallhanging for a dear
friend who cannot sew anymore
as she is going blind. She introduced
me to sewing. Most of the stitcheries
are by Leanne Pitman and the Country
family is by someone else, cannot
remember her name at this moment.
Thanks for sharing these patterns with
us.
