Can I call this one part three or not?

Let's move onto August then, the school holidays are in full swing and the weather is good! Which makes a change, normally when the school holidays begin the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Let's put the flags out it's not raining 

The only sewing project I did in the summer holidays was making some bunting  (see above) the girls have been wanting me to make some bunting for quite a while. So I found a nice easy tutorial online and set about making some, first I made a template using an old cereal box, then used it to cut the fabric triangles out, I used some pretty pastel floral fabric

all cut out ready to sew

Set about sewing them together, then turned and pressed them and that's where I had a small mishap,  I caught one slightly with the iron

ouch with the iron

But it isn't a big major problem, it's only a small thing it won't destroy the whole finished effect. Next was to attach to the bias binding which sounds easier to do than it actually was to do

all pinned and ready to sew

Then it was under sewing machine and hope that I have got enough thread on the spool, guess what I won and not the sewing machine for a change. The finished item is pictured at the top of this post.

itchy feet time

As August progressed on I got itchy feet (which makes a change from itchy fingers) and the girls were restless,  it was time for a holiday for. I decided to be very brave and take the girls camping on my own!!!!! So it was load the car up and off to Cornwall for a week. The start of week was very stormy, then the weather was brilliant for the rest of the week.

fishing boats pulled up high

But we did do a lot of exploring and had lots of picnics, which the girls thought was fantastic, and they didn't moan that they bored all week!

Mousehole 

very atmospheric view

Yes I did take two small projects with me, one knitting and one crochet. I did do some knitting/crochet while the girls were off playing, or foraging for blackberries,with their new friends around the campsite.
So what shall I end this post with, a picture of a sunset or a rainbow?  I know, how about both

summer memories 

and if you look closely you can see its a double rainbow
