Never mind, we have skype and that really helps. My friend Katy has grandchildren in Germany and it's nothing for them to pop across each holiday, but you must still miss being an 'everyday grandma (grany, or nanna) as I do.

I've just booked a cheapo easyjet to Germany to be with them for the little'un's 3rd birthday in 2 weeks!<br />Your quilt is fantastic and will be a lovely keepsake for them. I made quilts for all of mine and they are well used and wearing well. I'm now crocheting Afghan throws for them. 3 down 2 to go but I find that a Winter craft to have a wool throw on your knee!<br />I'm lucky with space and as I'll soon be teaching Donna silversmithing I think we'll be using the new clear garage space for that as it will be safer when using the butane burners.<br />Have a good week, we are off to Vicky Stampers on Saturday and Donna is coming over for that... woo hoo!<br />Love Jo xJoZart Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197690337080094062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-6519889218745821832012-07-27T23:05:32.354+01:002012-07-27T23:05:32.354+01:00It's a pleasure to introduce people to people....It's a pleasure to introduce people to people...it's what blogging's all about!

Sometimes simple is best, but your colour choices are subtle and perfect, and that comes with practice and skill.

Sometimes I want to take stuff off the list just because I'm sick of staring at it. Probably I should actually 'do' the thing in question, but for some reason, that doesn't always happen.... ;)<br /><br />I'm with you on September as well, I always thinks of it as a fresh start month too. I guess it's the school thing but it generally kicks me into gear, so let's hope in work this year too!<br /><br />Love your crafty makes, you've been busy. The cushion particularly is awesome, no wonder it's popular!<br /><br />Sandra xSandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-56020430466859741582012-07-24T15:22:08.431+01:002012-07-24T15:22:08.431+01:00Yikes!
