A day off

Today is my day off, our French teacher is on a holiday so no school on Tuesday.
Luckily there is enough to do! This weekend my parents in law are visiting so I will need to take some time to make the house a bit cleaner.

But then I will have an afternoon of me time!
At this moment I am working on Mars his new pants, it only needs the zipper, waistband and then it will be done. I will put the zipper in today for sure. Somehow I always like putting in the zipper, it gives me the feeling I am nearly done!

There are also 2 pillow fronts I have that need to be sewn into pillows, I am quite sure I can finish those today as well. Hopefully I will have time to take pictures of them right away!

The weather has cooled down quite a lot, it was about 36°C before the weekend. right now it is only 22°C  it is very refreshing, and it will make me more inclined to actually do some hard work, including ironing the fabrics.

In August we will be visiting family in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, I am making a list with shops where I can go to buy supplies, for every city I know we are going to I have some addresses  and I hope to be able to buy a lot of nice fabrics, lace, ribbon beads and metal findings!

Certainly looking forward to the trip, it has been 3 months since I have seen my nephew and I bet he changed a lot, another 2 months and he will turn 1. It is also grandma's birthday and I am happy we can be there. In England we will be visiting Mars his family, and Stonehenge, a place I wanted to see for a while now.
All in all, a lot of things to look forward too, but now it is time to get some actual work done!
