Good job! Was FG thinking that you weren't going to make her a pencil case? Cute fabrics! Hope the kiddies have a great first day back at school :)

It looks great. Strangely enough I have been working on a pencil case for my Miss today.
Glad you got a cool change, it feels like bliss when they come.

That is one sweet pencil case...Fairy Girl will love it I'm sure and so will her friends. Glad you have a break in the weather.

Cute pencil case, I am sure FG loves it!
I have gotten up to rain this morning, so very much needed where we are and it is making for a more pleasant day temperature wise.

Great idea to make it a one off. I too need to make myself the PERFECT size pencil case for myself.

Hello Donna,

Your girl has the best pencil case in her class. Isn't it lovely to have cool weather. I was hoping for a bit of a sleep in this morning because we have had cool weather. Not a chance,a crew came along and were chainsawing the trees across the road!!!!
Happy days.
Bev.xoxo

Pencil case is a ripper, Donna. She will be very pleased, I'm sure. Hope you have had a wonderful, relaxing sleep :)

Lynn said...

Love the pencil case. Nice that she can have it returning to school, makes it more special. I did the same thing yesterday I got up at 5:30 and later in the day when I was picking my son up from practice I feel sound asleep in my car in the school parking lot, like a vagrant.
