Patchwork drawstring bags

A few weeks ago I started making s.o.t.a.k handmade patchwork drawstring bags. I'm making 3. One for each of our children's foster mother's for when we go to Korea later this year

First bag finished

Today I finished the last 2 bags!! As soon as I finished, my sewjo flew out the window. Time for more crochet!

Can't wait for Spring. My favourite season of the year. Flowers are already blossoming in our local area

Have a beautiful day, Julia xx

Back to School

Our 3 children are back to school next week

Last week I was covering books, putting their names on pencils, 

oil pastel crayons, calculators, text books, rulers. . .

Crazy how long it takes

I bought new school shorts for one of our boys, too

I remembered, I needed to make a library bag for our daughter

Made it today

Our baby will be starting Kindy (Pre Prep)

The time has flown by!! 

I hand stitched Yuna's name onto her library bag

She said 'I can eat cherries all day'

Hubby says it looks good

Our eldest son will start Year 5

Our 2nd son starts Year 2

Our daughter starts Kindy

What grade are your children starting this year? 

Are you ready for packing lunches?
