Work is over and I am officially on holiday for the next two weeks - woo hoo! So I had a little holiday checklist to sort out over the last two days:
- Clothes washed - check!
- Eyebrows waxed-check!
- Toe nails painted - check!
- Hair dyed - check!
- Forehead, ears,neck and scalp dyed bright purple - check check check!
Why is it that no matter how much Vaseline I slather on before the dying process, I always managed to dye everything in the general vicinity of my head?? - No smutty remarks required Charlotte!
So before the Kidlet and I make our annual trip off to my parents in Ireland, I had one last urgent sewing job to do. Another good friend from work is deserting me to go travelling and wanted a case for her netbook that reminded her of home.
I went for a subtle reminder when planning the design....

I left the back plain as asked because she has the idea that she will get everyone she meets to sign the back. I had palpitations about anyone coming near one of my cases with a Biro!!
My machine is now all packed away and my hand sewing is sitting waiting to be packed, along with a finished table runner for my Mum. More pics of that will be coming.
One last thing before I go, the lovely Sarah from Narcoleptic in a Cupboard is hosting a Japanese Charm swap. If you fancy joining in all the details are here.
Now just a evening out with the LMQG to meet Tula Pink to get through, oh I lead such a hard life ;-)
See you all in a week

smutty comments? I don't know what you mean!
ReplyDeleteCool - I'm sure a purple forehead and neck look amazing! All the rage in Ireland I hear ;) Loving your texty prints and union jack - enjoy the holiday.
ReplyDeleteMet Tula on Saturday and she is lovely. You will have a great time. And do have a fabulous time in Ireland too.
ReplyDeleteHa! I thought you'd already gone!!! Am wishing I was coming tonight - Pat offered to bring me but lunch at the pub knackered me out today so dinner in London might finish me off altogether! Have a lovely time and a great holiday!
