Just in time

My eldest daughter has been at school for 5 years and this is the first year she has had something orange for Harmony Day. It's completely coincidental that one of her favourite colours this year is orange, in past years we have had made scurries through the embroidery thread box looking for orange thread to make a pin. Also fortunate is that little sister also has something orange to wear - phew no crazy rushes to make something tonight. The pattern is from Ottobre Summer 3/2006. It wasn't nearly as difficult to make as I made it look. It sat at my sewing table for months. I then proceeded to slip with the overlocker, fortunately the slip was covered by a little label that I just happened to have. One of those rare occasions when I had the right little thing to go with it. As you can see she's quite delighted with them.


To all of you have a wonderful Harmony Day tomorrow, may we all celebrate our differences as much as our similarities.

You can develop the right attitude toward others if you have kindness, love and respect for them, and a clear realization of the oneness of all human beings.
