Here's an update on the Santa Sampler Freebie I've been making for my mum. Most of it was finished it over last weekend when I spent some time at my parents' farm as well as during my lunch hour on Monday and Tuesday, I haven't been able to pick it up during the evening hours the last two days, because I've been busy removing everything from the floor in my kitchen, I'll explain in my next post. So I've finally decided to finish it as a bag, and on the back instead of stitching the whole design again, I'll just find a nice alphabet and write Natal 2008 (Christmas 2008 in Portuguese) and maybe my mum's initials. when this one is done I've only got another 12 or so gifts to make one of which is rather large, but I made a similar one for someone else and it only took a week to complete.
The coming two weekends we have three day weekends here in Portugal, so this weekend I'll be at my parents' farm and my grandmother will also be coming. She'll turn 77 on Sunday so we're having a small celebration and my Aunt will also come along, my cousins already have plans so they won't be able to make it. Next weekend I'll be taking a trip to Ikea to have a look at some picture frames and some other stuff I need. Will see what I come home with, usually a lot more than I went looking for.
