It's been a while...

I know, I'm sorry.
But I have a very good reason. I've been on holiday :)

I went to Japan and on the way I stopped in Dubai for 2 days.
Was it hot, or what?!?!?

More recently (it sounds like a long time but in fact it was just 10 days later) I went on a mini-cruise to Belgium and France.

(I do think I deserve this...but it may just be me being spoiled :)

I'll put some pictures up ..there's even some craft related events (mostly shopping :)

keep checking back

What I have seen ... recently

from my trip posted previously...

I found all of these in a fantastic restaurant called "O Bernardo" in Boavista dos Pinheiros (near Odemira and Vila Nova de Milfontes), in Portugal.
I wanted to take everything with me...and I did...in pictures...



...a rag rug...
... a lovely couple...
(sewn by the owner of the restaurant...and she says she can't sew?!....)

...some patchwork bags...

I've seen some of these posted in A Saloia ... she calls them 'Talegos'
