Summer is over

Funny but it seems our vacation ended yesterday. Everything is back to the normal pace. We had a wonderful summer even though there is either too much or too little presence of the sun. There was a lot of barbecue parties and happenings with friends and families. We have had a bountiful garden this year which generally took up most of our time. I didn't even had any dull moment's except some very tiring afternoon which I ended taking a long nap. My habit of doing multiple task at the same time didn't bother my husband this time coz' he is also pre-occupied with music and activities with his mates. It was all by all a wonderful summer holiday. Starting today is the beginning of preparation for our forthcoming long visit to my homeland Philippines. We are going to escape the winter period this year so its time to oversee any damage or anything that can possibly harm our house in case lots of snow falls down in December. We are going to leave Belgium on the 15th of November and we are coming back the 12th of April next year. Its gonna be a looooong warm holiday and thus, we also need lots of work done. I myself wanted to be a little creative this time. I wanted to give families and friends special attention, that's why instead of giving the traditional 'pasalubong' gifts of soaps and perfumes. I had something in mind which I thought will be a better alternative. Because nowadays you can buy everything there in the Philippines. From cranberry juice to cadburry chocolates and Belgian's beer. I  thought about making a shopping bag out of my fabric scraps and I actually finished up some:
