Sunday and sunshine

Happiness is....
First ears of corn in my garden

It's been such a long time.

Summer has come and gone.  My two are back in school. They had a busy summer with friends, camp and spending time in Puyallup with their grandma and cousins.  They flew home one week before school started.  I've started a few new projects.  Some big like painting rooms in my home.  Others small and finished quickly.  I spent lots of time in my yard.  It has great potential once the trees are grown and foliage has filled in.  It's still a new yard.  Some veggies are growing in my garden.  Others have met the demise of the squash bugs.  Darn bugs. My family loves zuchinni, but a few of the plants are gone. The green beans are delicious!  I had a huge serving for my lunch yesterday.  I love the crispness in the morning air this time of year.  Fall is creeping closer.

Small projects

  I've had a pretty intense headache going.  I can usually sleep and they go away. But not today. So, in between trying to sleep, I finished these little projects up.  I love how quick they are to get done. And how cute.

Spring

Early signs of spring. Daffodils popping up.
I worked outside for a few minutes, but the sun is deceiving. It is sunny but still chilly. 
 Signs that the magnolia that I planted last fall will bloom. So excited!

Fabric Finds

Ideas are forming in my head of what to make from these fabric finds.
 Fun fabrics to work on.  Such great designs.

Storing "Pretty" Tap

       I have accumulated lots of "pretty" tape lately.  I'm not sure if they are officially Washi Tape, but i wanted to get them out of the storage box they were in.
  Setting them on a shelf would not work for me either.
      So I bought myself a cafe curtain rod ....
      Then put all of my tape onto the rod and adjusted it to fit inside my shelf.
And now everything is out where I  can see it and use it whenever!  I have a tendency to not want to dig in my boxes to get things out to make something.  This way, I have it right at my fingertips and can make something on a whim.  I have been sending Zac cards quite often and helps me make a card quickly and actually put it in the mail.  Try it.  You'll like it!
