Shine

What is it with me and disappearing into the mist of Blogland? I seem to be doing well with my disappearing acts :)
I have been keeping busy with working hard and cross stitching, naturally. But at the moment, I'm working on a gift for an internet-savvy friend and I don't want her to see it just yet! Farmhouse hasn't been touched for awhile, but I'm still optimistic about my end of year target.
In other news, I'm getting ready for my summer holiday!! Woohoo! I can't remember if I've mentioned before, but I'm spending two weeks away with Lawrence and his family in the South of France. We're renting a villa and I already know it's going to be one of the best holidays of my life.
I am, truth be told, a typical girl. So being asked only to bring one suitcase was a problem that had to be solved with some serious thinking. You can see my dilemma, size of suitcase versus items I want to take on the bed . . .



After some clever folding techniques, inherited from my gifted mum, it all went in eventually. I'm so excited to be going on a proper summer holiday, I haven't been abroad for quite some time now. 
After packing, there was more strenuous activities to be done . . . :)


I'll be sure to check in with blogs if I can. But if not, I'll be back with a big report on France and stitching and my lovely life in general :)
Best wishes to all,

My grandmother taught me how to pack a mean suitcase. It has served me well many times over.

Can't wait to hear of your traveling adventures. Have a wonderful time!
