Hearts and butterflies

Today has been about choosing fabrics and cutting out the pieces for the class I am doing tomorrow – JoyPatch’sIn the Bag”.

I didnt use the blue in the middle – not a big enough piece.  But the other 4 worked out well.  Hope  to have a bag well on the way to completion by this time tomorrow.

I love sharing Grandie’s birthdays with them.  Kai has turned 7 years old.

Yum !!!!!  Dessert.  Ice cream with sprinkles, marshmallows, choc sprinkles, jelly.  What more could they want.

Oh yes, birthday cake.

Followed by a game on Mum’s IPhone.

In the early part of our trip we didnt have very strong internet service, so I didnt get to journal our travels at that time.  I am going to add some parts from time to time to be able to have a more complete journal.

Our first trip to Wales was to Monmouth.to check out the Minnow Bridge – as the sign says, it was built around 1270.

Love those birds perched so evenly along the peak of the roof.

We had lunch in the old Pub, the Robin Hood, where I was rather interested in the carpet.
