Well, I thought perhaps you might like to see some of what has been given to me. I was rather surprised at the ammount of gifts I recieved, as I never really caught onto the idea of giving lots of things except at Christmas.
My grandmother made this beautiful book-bag - she knows me well - and this pencil bag, scarf and bookmark.
Jenn made me this wrap, hat, notebook and a length of gorgeous cloth. She knows me as well! (I'm thinking of either a very swirly skirt, or a pretty, drapey dress.)
My German teacher gave Theophilus and I some books and chocolate. What I especially liked was the German songbook... We both recieved lots of cards, and many monetary gifts, which of course are very useful! The cards are going in my box with the past ten years' worth of cards. The money is going either to my account, or to my stash; I haven't decided which yet.
And my parents decided to kick my brother and I out of the house, or at least hint at it. But I really am grateful for the five piece suitcase...
Wow, your grandmother is amazing with a needle! Is that all hand embroidery? . . . As someone who dabbles in embroidery, I am in severe admiration right now. I see the bookbag has a violin on it . . . what a pretty medley of your interests!

PS-Lovely fabric, too. I'd vote for a dress.
My Gramma has a machine which does that. I dabble myself, but always by hand, so I go very slowly!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is winning in my mind, I just have to find a pattern for it.
