RSC - Teal for July

 The Rainbow Scrap Challenge nominated colour for July is teal so I went looking to see what I had tucked away in my bag  making bits of pieces.  Of course there were several pieces of fabric, waiting to be stitched up into bags for foster kids.  I do wonder of I will ever empty this  bag, especially with a few fabric donations coming my way recently.

So I got to work cutting and stitching and made four little draw string bags.  Featuring dolphins, and crickets, and there was enough of the circus animal fabric for two small bags.  With no suitable cord I had to take a shopping trip up town so I could finish the bags off.  

Four little bags done

I've been on the receiving end of some extra goodies this week, thanks to kind friends.  I was given a bag of grapefruit, which I was pleased to get.  Those people taking cholesterol pills cannot eat grapefruit, luckily I am not one of them.  Grapefruit are seldom seen for sale so I was happy to take these ones fresh off the tree from Betty.

I always enjoy grapefruit for breakfast

Bill and Val called in for afternoon tea a few days ago, they were former members of the caravan club and we had many trips and adventures away with them over the years.  Val brought me some candles she had, and would never use, knowing that I light a candle each evening for Robin.  It was lovely to see them again and so nice of Val to pass the candles on to me.

So that's been my week,  mixed weather with some sunny days, a bit of rain, and cool enough to have the heat pump going in the evenings.   It is winter, after all.
