I couldn't post these up in August for two main reasons; firstly they are gifts and some had not yet been received and secondly we had a fabulous holiday exploring the Champagne region in France. If you'd like to read about our travels please visit
Aimetu's - wine, food and travel.
The first gift was for our friend's daughter, she turned 30 mid August so I stitched this little coaster for her and managed to add 30 and her initial.

My second gift was for our daughter who lives in Cardiff. I saw this chart and fell in love with both the character and quotation. She has just moved, which always has its issues and working with the rugby boys life is never dull!
She loved it and it looks great on her side table in her new flat.

My final gift was for our son's girlfriend who yesterday did a Skydive to raise money for Alzheimer's, she has raised over £650 - her donation page is

There is a video on Youtube too of her Skydive - something I could never do, such a challenge - well done Charly !! This is the link to the film -

We're off on our travels again, this time to Portugal with our son and daughter, first holiday together in 10 years - I'm really looking forward to a week in the sun with my family.
