Presidents & Pencil Cases!

At one stage this morning, a rather well known President was not half a mile away from me! There's been quite a stir here in sleepy N.I. as we welcome 8 of the world's most influential leaders for the G8 Summit!

Something else I can't quite believe is that my kids have only 8.5 schools days left before the summer holidays start here!  Yikes!

So a few end of term pressies were rattled out over yesterday and today!

Pencil Cases
Pencil Case 1: Front & Back
Now that all my kids are in 'big school' there's no more making teacher presents! But there are still the last minute birthday gift and 'best friend swaps' to make!

Pencil Case 2: Front & Back
For all these pencil cases I chose pre-cut squares from my scrap-vomit box. Daughter no.3 loves an eclectic mix of colours and prints - let's hope her 2 friends do as well!

I finished the cases off with Daughter no.3's fimo lolly pop zipper pulls!

That's another tick off the present making list!  Shirley the Cow got some attention today too, but more on that another day!

Have a good one!

    These are lovely, I'm sure they will make recipients really happy. Love the lolly pop pull, how wonderfully fun.

    Those girls sure do keep you busy making presents! Didn't you invite President OB for tea?

    I missed BO yesterday. Did Michelle and the girls slip off to yours? Your girls are so fortunate to have a sewing mum to whip up those lovely pencil cases for them. Di x
