I'm still to sew the December strip, but at least I have the blocks sewn. I loved the jeans, but I don't think these were my old ones - my legs are NOT that long. Though I did have some buttoned and not zippered ones when I was young.
The suitcase was fun. I should have made the New Zealand 'sticker' look a lot older. I went there in 1978 when I was in my early twenties. (Yes, I know some of you were still in nappies.) At the time all an Aussie needed was a return ticket - no document of identification, passport or visa.
Many years later, and only about 6 years ago, we went to Norfolk Island. That's the 'NIs' one. Singapore was next in 2010. We chose Singapore because it was just far enough to go to see if I could handle a long plane flight. It turned out to be a wonderful destination and I'd go back tomorrow. Then late last year, we finally got to England.
I hope my suitcase gets lots more stickers one day.
I have a question but I'll save that for another post.

Kayly, I dont think most of us had legs that long (or skinny either!!)Your jeans and suitcase look great
Those look like my favourite jeans as a teenager. Not that mine were long and skinny, but they were a wonderfully washed out denim!
I have short legs too........great you put on destinations you have been to for holidays.........
