Last of Ireland, but more travels ahead

Ireland was fun.
We meet a lot of interesting and fun people. Saw a lot of interesting things and learned a lot about Ireland. Saw the country side by train and bus. Ate amazing local food. Immersed ourselves in the local culture. Had a ghost haunting the hall of the B an B. Saw endless amounts of castles. Visited the last port of call of the Titanic. Hung my feet off the Cliffs of Moher. Krista was able to able to enjoy a frothy Guinness freshly brewed. Rode along the Ring of Kerry. Randomly stopped to stretch our legs and see the sights.
This man and his donkey were selling fruits and homemade goods.


This little guy was spent from his travels.


Krista and I had the opportunity to see first hand how herding sheep is done. We learned how the dogs are trained. Then we watched the dogs herd the sheep. Was really neat to watch.


What a view for eating lunch. I had ordered shepherds pie. (This was the small plate)
Soooo good and filling.


There's a lot of beautiful bridges in Dublin.


We stayed at a cute little hostel call the Tipperary House. Now hostels are a very cheap way to travel. I will say they are not for everyone. If you can share a room with a bunch of strangers and want to save money, this is for you. It's a great way to meet new people. If you really don't care for that, then get a hotel room.  If you are traveling with a group of friends, getting a hotel room might be the cheaper way to go.


Krista is ecstatic that she got the top bunk.


GOOD BYE IRELAND,
YOU'VE BEEN GREAT!!!

Uniform Purse

I had been asked to make a purse for a spouse. I really enjoy make things but this is one of my favorites. I have made a lot in the last couple of years and no two are the same. Each one is unique in their own way.  The women receiving them really seem to enjoy the purse/ diaper bag. So lets get started. First get an ODU blouse Decide on what fabric you want.   Decide on if it is going to be a purse or a diaper bag. This is so you know how much you will have to cut off.  This one is going to be a purse. Then decide how many pockets. This one is going to have one pocket.  Add some handles.  I used the sleeves from the blouse and the rest of the patriotic fabric And here you have it.  A perfect way to support your SAILORS and TROOPS.

First stop Ireland

First stop Ireland I will say before you fly out of the country mental prepare yourself for a very long day. After getting to the airport, flights, layovers, more flights, more layovers, customs, bus ride to hotel,  we finally made it. 20 plus hours of travel can be rough. Especially when things don't go as smoothly as one would hope. Heathrow airport in London is a  rough one. WE FINALLY MADE IT!!! First stop on our list was the Storehouse Brewery in Dublin. Suitcases and all. The Storehouse is where Guinness is brewed.       ( The beer of Ireland)  We had prepaid tickets  for 5pm and didn't think we had time to check into the hotel. Purchase your tickets online, it will help you save a some money and time. The Storehouse customer service was awesome. Since we already had tickets we didn't have to wait in line and they offered to hold on to our suitcases till we were done. This place was huge, 4 stories o...
