We're off on our holidays on Friday, so there will be no post from me for two weeks.
We're going to the lovely Greek island of Skopelos which we know quite well as it is our fourth trip there. The children are so excited that I wonder how I manage to keep relatively sane!
I am looking forward to a lot of things such as Iced coffee, moussaka, oregano flavoured souvlakis, sun, warm waters, doing nothing, seeing again the Greek friends we have made there, watching the beautiful scenery and many more gems this little island has to offer.
I am not bragging, I am just as excited as the children are, and I haven't packed yet!!!
Bianca's sleeve is flying with me. Okay, I am not at all sure I will do much knitting with all this resting to do, but I am going prepared... Here is a picture of the afore mentioned sleeve now: 
Hope to show you some progress when I come back...
I'll be visiting your blogs before I go to see what you're up to. See you all back in September...
I'm so jealous - have you got room for a littish one in your suitcase - I neeeeeeed some sun - oh we'd have to take Jacob as well - you didn't need any clothes did you ?!
Bianca is looking delightful - you are making good progress.
I hope you have a lovely time away and really relax - see you when you get back.

Have a wonderful holiday. I'm a bit anxious for you as I don't think you've got enough knitting packed! As far as I'm concerned, resting is synonymous with knitting!
Your sleeve looks fabulous, btw, it's growing fast!

Bianca's sleeve looks wonderful. Maybe I should try that pattern. I love working with beads and it doesn't look like there are too many. It reminds me of a Winter version of Chicago.

I love your Bianca so much that I just had to order some yarn for it.... I had to order from the UK because I couldn't find the correct colors and beads here. Who knows how much I paid for shipping. I would order from the moon if they had what I needed. What size needles are you on? I like to have everything all ready when the package arrives.
