Almost there!

 I have made surprisingly good progress on my TAST catch up plan - due largely to my lovely DH taking my DDs off camping for a couple of nights, allowing me to sit in front of the TV with my laptop propped at eye level next to me whilst I deciphered how to make lovely new stitches.

I am now only three stitches behind - and hoping to make up more ground today, as one of the stitches I can already see how to do!

My only other crafting has been to make two of these little notebook covers.  Cheap and cheerful mini-notepads, a small amount of fabric, ribbon and fleece, and a few small pencils that the girls were given free at some point. 

A really good way of giving them a tiny carry kit, and the individual pencil pockets mean that they can't easily lose the pencils when the train gives an extra large joggle!

I hope that you are having a lovely crafty summer.
