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.

  1. 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.

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

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

    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...

  18. 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
