So, Anna and I had a fun and sewing packed few days and watched NCIS at night. Pretty much my idea of heaven: hanging out with Anna, sewing and watching NCIS Los Angeles! Here is her first project, started as soon as we got home from the show. A little fruity bag. Cute, right?   (oh, that sounded funny . . . )

Well, a visit with Auntie L. would not be complete without a trip to Alewives, so off we went the next day. Yeah, Alewives! Represent!! We found Rhea and Ruben hard at work and here they are in their little Utopia. Always happy to see their smiling faces.

Here is my niecie hard at work cutting out a cell phone pocket, and working on her book bag for school this year, an annual tradition with us.

She did a fabulous job! Trust me, this photo does not do it justice. It is a canvas bag that she lined with some gorgeous navy batik, with turquoise green pockets.

And one last pic: Here are Anna and Sophie chillin' in the evening. The time went so fast, just flew by, and the house felt a little empty after she left.
