Back to school

 September, and the schools are starting again. My grandchildren in Belgium started yesterday. In Greece the kids will start a bit later in the month. Petros and Elsa showed me, very proud, their new school bags. They were excited! I go everywhere with my backpacks. Hardly use any other bags any more. It is good for my posture and I save my arms.

 

This one I made for a friend. She cycles every day, and loves it because it is so practical for her.

 It is still very hot here in Sparta, yesterday the temperature reached again 40 degrees! Most of my plants in the garden are suffering, except the Campsis! It stays beautiful the whole summer, till late in autumn. It gives a lot of mess on the ground, it attract wasps and ants, but nevertheless I love it.

 I didn't make any backpacks for my grandkids, but I made one for my daughter.

 

 

The dark blue of the bag goes so well with the orange of the flowers! And here is the back of it. I always put a zippered pocket on the backside. It is a very safe place. 

Tineke, the mother of my friend Barbara has a lot of batik fabrics and scraps from when she was living in different places in Asia. She donated them to A & B Creating and we thank her so much for that! I love batiks, such beautiful colors and patterns. I made some pouches with the this fabric. The one below will be a birthday present for a good friend.

And here comes Tineke's bag from the material she donated! It used to be a skirt, or a dress. I can't remember. It got a new life! We love to recycle!!!

Time for me now to start watering the garden. Every day duty!! Poor plants and trees. No rain! I am sure that they would love to get some, so would I!! Have a nice week and stay safe!
