So I've been busy, busy, busy,
working in my
craft room, trying to get some
things done.
My dearest friend, Valerie and her
Hubby celebrated
an
anniversary and I wanted to give
her something
special
so I made her this
and here's a close up
But I'll tell you something, I
will
NEVER
sew a satin ribbon on a purse
again!!
It slid here and there, it wanted
to pinch
and
it was getting pretty
FRUSTRATING!
But
it was for my dearest,
best friend
so I did it for her and she
loves it.
I'm glad!
Then I've been altering clipboards
as well
I made one for my
mom
and then I made another
one,
just because
I really do enjoy making these
and I have
a few more to make.
I enjoy cutting
the paper
and trying to find
paper to compliment it
as well
then adding the
ribbon
to
make it even
more pretty!
Today was a good day!
I met a very sweet
young lady
all
the way
from
Ambert, France.
We spent the day together,
she's a friend
of a
friend
and we got to talking
about so
many things
She had lots
of questions about America
and how
Americans do things here.
We compared
cultures,
which
was fun
and it is amazing
how different
things are.
Let's just
say,
I'm ready to move
to the
countryside
of
France.
I
keep asking my
DH
to see if his company
needs him to
move
to France, or UK, or
how about
just Europe?
Well,
Evidently not!
STINK!!!
But she talked
about the
open markets there
and how they
cook
everything fresh
each day.
Very healthy,
no fast
foods,
she never even heard of
frozen foods
before,
I had to explain that to
her.
The look on her face
said it all,
how
GROSS!!!
LOL
But I did get to go
to a
Mennonite Market today
and
purchased some beautiful
berries,
and a large beautiful Melon
and
the largest
spring onions
And although
it rained most of the day,
we had a nice
time,
I love hearing her speak,
love the french
accent.
And I was able to purchase
fresh produce
right from our
local farmers,
hmmm,
what should I do
with all these
lovely
berries?
Maybe some warm
crepes
for breakfast?
Sounds
good!!
Au Revoir!!
