It Took Me A Ridiculously Long Time...

... To cut out these Heather Ross, and linen fussy cuts.


And that's all I have to show for the weekend. Or that all I'm allowed to show I should say. 

Today was a sad day as we went to say good bye to my step(ish)sister and her family as they head off to a life in Washington DC in a few days time. I hate saying good bye to people. Especially people who are as sarcastic, irreverent and fun to be with as my step(ish)sister. I'm going to bury my head in a vat of Lindt chocolates now. The only solution when I feel like this.

    Your fussy cuts are definitely cute. I am sure you are going to love them in your project no matter how labor intensive they were.

    Stay positive and think future holidays in DC. It is sad to say goodbye though, enjoy the Lindt.

    Thank goodness for FaceTime! It's the only way I cope with my youngest sister living overseas.

    I hate goodbyes too! I always underestimate how long it takes to fussy cut. Looking forward to seeing what comes next! Jxo

    Goodbyes can suck big time. I hope Mr Lindt helps you out. On a lighter note your fussy cuts are rather lovely x

    Skype, facetime and good old fashioned telephoning will keep you connected and Washington is a great city for a holiday....

    Intriguing...

    It will make it all the more special when they visit, give you a reason to visit the US with n hotel fee and there's always Skype too. Hope the Lindt worked...

    Enjoy your chocolate, the bright side is that she will have access to lots of cheap fabric for you. x

    Lindt...........

    Love the use of step(ish) it's what I use for my mums boyfriend (mainly because boyfriend just doesn't seem right when you're talking about your parents and partner just sounds ugh)

    I know how hard you've worked for the girls holiday so I won't go on about "it's just a plane ride away" but hopefully you'll be all fibre optic soon and FaceTime will be a realistic way of seeing your step(ish) sister as often as possible x

    I don't like saying goodbye to people either. Good people are hard to find.
