Dog Gone Summer DAZE

out of the blue

Dog gone summer dayz...........still setting up the house, or um, rather the studio! Yeah, the girls and I are tackling the sewing room. What a job! Honestly! I have been teased and prodded all this past move, about ALL the boxes of fabric I own. Quote from my girlie: "I don't even know what I'm digging up, Momma!".....she's grabbing fist fulls of fabric out of one of the gazillion boxes of fabric, and we are color coordinating...
(and did I mention that each box weighs in around fifty or more pounds).
Ok, she's calling me to come back and help her out! I gotta see this thing through, ladies! It's bad enough organizing one's studio, let alone a whole house, all at once....so hard to keep focused. Not to mention I'm sewing flower girl dresses for two weddings! Yup, both of my brothers are getting married in September. Whewewwweeeee, once I can come up for air I'll be posting the dresses and such.....not to mention another wedding quilt I haven't even started yet.

And yes, we've been taking time out to swim lots, and bike ride, etc.....not ready for summer to be over with just yet. We need to hit the beach at least a couple of times.

Setting up house

As you can see, I've managed to have a little fun, this past week!
Some new curtains.........

.....and a new lamp inspired by Anna Maria Horner.

It glows so warmly when the light is on.

Next on the to do list: a few new pillows, and a quilted wall hanging!
Hope you are enjoying your summer!

Weddings, quilts, roses and oh my!

Hey everyone! I'm still alive and kickin! Unpacking boxes in the new house, as we speak! Talk about work! We're finally seeing our way clear, now......not much fun tip toeing through the maze of boxes, sifting through the rubble, looking for your toothbrush, clothing, etc.....I can't complain though. I'm thrilled beyond words with the new place and everything!!!!

Here is something I have been wanting to share with you! This gorgeous wedding gift I handed over to my bro and his finance, a few weekends ago! As you can see, they are thrilled with it.
