Almost Summer for Me

Well summer school is almost over, one more day. Then I will get to finish cleaning the sewing room and get to crafting.
The treasury list link is not good anymore, boo hoo.

Post more later!

Treasury made it to the first page!

Last I looked this morning, before the list expired it was on the first page of treasuries!! Hopefully I will be able to make another list that will do as well. Here is the link, you can still check it out!

These are the items on the treasury.

New Creations...

I have been so busy with summer school,

I have hardly been to the sewing machine.

I managed to finish a few totes in the last 3 weeks or so.

Here are some preliminary pictures. I will post hopefully this

Saturday on my etsy store http://www.itsthebag.etsy.com/ .

I especially love the flower print on the brown bag. It's a Michael Miller print I got from one of my favorite quilt shops, http://www.patchworkpenguin.com/

The proprietress has many beautiful fabrics to choose from. (among other things)

New Recipe site

I joined this recipe site and it has been great. They have so many great ideas and recipes. I especially like them because the recipes are from everyday people. The site is http://www.grouprecipes.com/ . Check it out!

What a day!

What a great day for sewing. Just finished cleaning the house and we also cleaned the boys' closet. What a task that was. We ended up with several large bags of give away clothes, shoes and cleats. I am glad someone else will get to use them.

So now I am of to sew. (Especially since the NASCAR race is starting)

Post 4th

Well, we had a great time yesterday. It ended up being a full fledged party. We had 20 people over for the carne asada fest that included roasted eggplant, turkey burgers, fresh fruit, and a huge chocolate birthday cake for my brother-in-law. We all had a great time and enjoyed the fireworks we could see from Hansen Dam.

Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th to all. We are getting ready for a bbq with some friends. I especially like that we can see the fireworks from Hansen Dam . A nice traditional carne asada meal will be served, with all the fixins' including a cactus salad.
