Back to School

 

I'm a little excited
for the first day of school,
but summer break is over
and that's just not cool.



Featured: I made this roll-up
pencil pouch for my sister,
who likes to draw..

What a nice pencil pouch. I thought about making something like that for my granddaughter.
I bet there are lots of kids out there who would agree that it's not cool that summer break is over.

Such an elegant pencil pouch, Amalia!
Here most schools started already 1 - 2 weeks ago.
Late summer is a special time of the year and I always loved going back to school. :)
Take care!
