Disneyland!

We had a great time in Disneyland. It was completely exhausting, but it really was a magical place for the girls, and watching that was priceless. Here are a few highlights. I hope you enjoy!!

This sums it up!

Do you have those weeks were nothing seems to go right?? That was this week! Tuesday a storm blew down our back fence. That is really inconvenient when you have dogs. Want to know what is even less convenient??? Going to Home Depot to check out fencing only to leave the store and find out that your car won't start! ARGH!!!! Good thing we are headed for Disneyland in 3 days (and good thing the trip is paid for.....it may have been canceled after this week!) I have so much to do to get ready for our trip, that I don't think i will get back here before we go. I will update with pics when we get home. I *might* even sneak in some knitting on the plane...so have a great weekend and enjoy the next week. If I find a quiet moment (HA! In a hotel room with 2 kids hyped up on sugar!) I may even update from sunny California!

Checking In

Crafty pursuits have been few and far between this month. I am part of a month long Breastfeeding awareness campaign, and it is taking up all of my extra time. I am having a blast, and am continually amazed at the incredible women I am meeting everyday. So here's a big shout out to all you breastfeeding moms! What a great sisterhood to share! Oh, and YES!!! I am STILL breastfeeding.....and proud of it! :)

I like posts with pictures so I will show you a couple of projects I did at the beginning of the summer. One of my oldest friends just had a baby (I think! I should call her!!) and I made her a cowboy quilt for her baby shower.

I had so much fun with the fabric, that when I found out a close friend from high school was getting married I made her an apron out of some of the same materials. I love the cute western feel of these. I might have to explore this genre more!

I'm back with a New Look

Surprised to see me??? No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I was in a blogging rut, and decided to take an unannounced break. Sorry!!! I thought maybe sprucing things up a bit might help me feel inspired. (Now to get me a new look! It has been far to long since I have visited the salon!)

I am in complete disbelief that the summer is almost over! It has been a fun few months filled with family, friends, birthdays, and of course many crafty pursuits. I will try to post a few of the projects I have been working on. It will be good material for the days when I have finished nothing, and still want to post! For now I will give you my most recent. You may remember the fun quilted purse I did for Mother's Day (if not, I think that the pics were in the last post) well, I love that bag. It is a great "night on the town" purse, but it isn't ideal for everyday mom use. Moms need a big more storage space! I still have a little one in diapers, so I need some room, but I don't need the major diaper bag anymore. This purse is my answer. (and it is one cute answer if I do say so myself!) It has a similar shape to the quilted bag, but I added sections to the sides and bottom for added depth. I also made it reversible just for fun. What do you think???
