August 1st

Today was a lovely day here in the northwest.  Iain woke up with an upset tummy-poor boy, but just like his sister used to do he shakes it off and is good in a few hours (connected to growth spurts?) Finnley and Iain spent all day in backyard, which we are sooo grateful for (so is our mole) is very large and completely fenced. My husband has major plans for it, but I'm just so thankful it's there.

Iain wore pajamas all day because he was a little sicky and they made him feel better

Finnley got a new skirt crafted by me, out of an old t-shirt jersey bed sheet.

today was a good day, took a lot of pictures and the kids painted new refrigerator art-my favourite.

sewed a dress, and skirt, ordered some new books, one about sewing and one about *gasp* quilting.

I have always done everything in the crafts, and arts without hesitation, but quilting intimidates me like crazy. I know why though, it messes with my dyslexia, so many steps (or so it seems) my brain has a hard time deciding where to start. I just couldn't help myself though, I love quilts so much, especially vintage, well worn, very soft, warm, loved quilts, so I will keep everyone posted on how it goes.

new sewing book can't wait for it to get here!

the all intimidating quilt book-still a little excited though :)
