We are all looking forward to some routine after a very surreal summer.
My eldest starts her last year of school. Eeek!! AS results day last week was a day of celebration and we are getting excited now looking at different universities.
Meanwhile, the 2 youngest put in their annual requests for Back To School pencil cases!
Bethany picked out these fabrics and wanted a flat pencil case.
Lucy (the tomboy) gets 2 because for a change I actually had fabrics that are totally her & I couldn't choose between them!
And Lucy's friend has a birthday this week, so she gets some leftover Fabric Yard fabric - love those elephants!
I have one more 'summer birthday make' to show you, and not a zipper in sight on this one! More on that tomorrow!
Jxo
The most surreal thing for me was the beginning of the first school year after my daughter finished. It was sort of "Hey. You are a kid. Kids go to school, so why aren't you at school?" A truly weird feeling. Enjoy the peace & quiet of the start of term.
ReplyDeleteGreat pencil cases and hope they are ready - new shoes and uniform!
ReplyDeleteI too am thinking about getting my kids back to school. Your pencil cases are all lovely.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the pencil cases, and you get your zips so flat!!! I miss the buzz of the kids getting ready for a new school year, mine all loved school so there was always a sense of excitement tinged with regret at the end of the summer. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThey're all fabulous! I'd love to be able to make them.....but one look at a zip, and all sewing skills, common sense and steady nerves go flying frantically out of the nearest window!!!! xx
ReplyDeleteLove those pencil cases. Jenny got her A level results last week, although she isn't reliant on them for her apprenticeship. And we have GCSE results tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteFab pencil cases, and yes, I get the elephant love thing, too. They are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe same in this house here! Glad they are back in school soon and the best: they are too! Lovely pouches!
ReplyDeleteLovely pencil cases J! I am counting the hours till Next Thursday, can't wait for school to open and having kids in bed at a decent hour.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a case this cool in school. Love the elephants esp. Great job, super-mama!
ReplyDeleteLovely pencil cases, Judith. We're also in back to school mood, ours starts in ONE!!! day.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm in the same preparation zone... Teaching starts for me on the 9th, and I have that same sinking feeling I always had as a kid! Lol!
