This sewing box was a car boot find quite some years ago, I remember mum being with me at the time and buying it for me. I've wanted to do something with it for a long time and last week It was a job I finally got round to.
I think It came out pretty good and hopefully I can make more use of it.

Some of you will have seen or heard the news about the wild fires on the Greek Island of Rhodes. Unfortunately my eldest daughter, Jenny, James and the boys flew out to Rhodes on holiday last Wednesday and their hotel is in the middle of all this chaos!
Naturally I've been worried sick, but they have been evacuated to a sports hall in the north of the Island and are safe, thank goodness. James has just texted me to say they are now being transferred to a hotel somewhere in the north. They had to leave their luggage at their hotel so don't have much with them, I suppose If it's at all possible luggage will be transferred to the new destination, but some roads are still closed, a hotel close to the one they were in has burnt down!
Jenny said the locals and volunteers have been absolutely amazing bringing food, drinks and toiletries and even offering to put holidaymakers up in their own houses, Jenny has had two very kind people offering to take them in, she did decline both but only because she thought it best to stay where they would get updates on goings on. They were only going for a week but I know they will be glad to be on their way home as soon as possible now, and I'll be glad when they are all back safe and sound.
Thinking about all the holiday makers and people who live on Rhodes today 💔
