We’ve just been busy enjoying our summer. Well, honestly, we haven’t be too busy! We’ve been hanging out at home a lot, playing games, teaching Mia to read, and crafting up a storm. I have a crazy crafty kid…I am continually amazed at how creative Grace can be with printer paper, toilet paper, and tape! Her room is full of lamby bedding, clothes, and other furniture. Yesterday she busted out her sewing kit and my scrap fabric and taught Mia to sew. So Mia is sewing up her first stuffed bear at age five, can you imagine how good she’ll be by the time she’s my age? I’ve also been doing a bit of sewing..last year I ran into this adorable pattern for “Molly Monkey” and “Katy Kitty” and decided that before the girls got too old, I HAD to make one for them. So the project started by scouring all the local craft stores for the perfect fabric, and never being satisfied, ended up ordering more online. And that’s as far as we got. The girls would inquire as to the progress on their animals at least weekly, and it took nearly a year of prodding for me to finally get going on it. I hope to have them finished in the next week or so…we’ll see. Tomorrow I’ll take a few progress photos, and post them. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer…I hope we get a bit of heat soon, so we can head to the beach. Think “no fog” thoughts please!!!
And because it seems very strange to post without a photo, I’ll include one from our quick trip to northern cal…if you look very carefully, you can see where we went!

Thanks for looking!
