Business

Today I had a busy day with lots of yard work and then a trip to town for coffee with my good friend who's here from London. It was so good to see her!
I splurged and bought some fabric to make bags for my Etsy shop and came home and washed them and hung it out to dry. Then spent the rest of the evening crying while watching '50 First Dates' (can anyone else keep a dry eye in that film or am I just emotional?) and cutting out the bags. Hopefully I will sew them together tomorrow and have them in my shop soon!
I've gotten a little ways on my sewing room organizing but not enough to post about yet. I will soon though! (hopefully!) ;)

Sew Organized?

I wish I could say my sewing space was as neat and inspiring as this:
But alas...it's a monstrous mess at the moment that's enough to quench my mood for sewing any day. An intervention is in process. :) I'm going to tackle a corner of it tonight and maybe a little more next week until it's finished. I'm taking before pictures but you'll have to wait to see them until I have the after pics ready. They're too shocking with out the refreshing clean picture afterwards.
Wish me luck! I hope I make it out alive! ;)

Beckah's Birthday :)

Last week we finally celebrated my friend Beckah's birthday...(her birthday was in April) and had a Wallace and Gromit marathon. Wahoo! They're the best. :)


We also had a crazy hailstorm and me being even crazier than the weather...I had to go out in it and get a bowl full of hail to eat...which might be bad for you but I love it too much to care. ;)

And of course you can't watch Wallace and Gromit with out tea with milk. Or cream...as we Americans use.
Most important is the CHEESE. :) "We've forgotten the crackers Gromit!"

And then of course...birthday brownies with ice cream and a big 'ol candle. :)

Back to Blogging

Reading all the amazing posts my friend AnnaMae has done lately has made me realize how much I miss blogging. I blog quite often on my sewing blog but I really miss thoughtful blogging about everyday life and deep and meaningful things. So, I'm going to attempt to get back into it. I've also been inspired by AnnaMae to do some deep organizing so get ready for some posts about that. :)

We've been having so much rain lately. I really love it...even though it means the laundry must be hung inside to dry. (there's a dryer epidemic going around in our neighborhood...it seems everyone's dryer is breaking)
I just love the fresh smell of rain and how clean the air feels after a rainstorm.

I pulled out my umbrella the other day so I could take some photos. I think it was happy to be wet again.

Today we spent a long day in town and I was more than happy to return home with a movie from the library and my new Real Simple magazine came in the mail. I also picked up a Thesaurus from the dollar store. Can't tell you how much I love it. So many awesome words in there. Which I just may need if I keep my promise and start blogging again. ;)
