short stories

For some silly reason, I had convinced myself that I didn't like to read short stories. Perhaps because once I get fully into the short story , then it's over and I am left with wanting more.

the first of August and a trip wrap-up!

Dear Reader, I hope this first day of August finds you well and in good spirits. As a lover of summertime, I find August the sweetest month and also the swiftest one of the season. The heavy humid heat sets deeper in and the days linger, yet now with a touch of September softly, slowly beckoning with each sunset.

Many of the favorite haunts are long gone but we find fun whenever we go back. Ba...

summer sewing

Well, it's that time of year again . Time to make summer bandana shorts for Zack! And the last summer he'll fit in them ... if I make more for him then I'll have to get the bandana fabric by the yard. The tutorial is fabulous and so much fun - all you need is a pair of bandanas and elastic to sew them up. I can still see him as a toddler wearing a pair that were more like pants because he was so little. Summer memories. Tutorial can be found HERE How are you? What are you making? I've been absent from the blog ... again. May your day be ever sweet.
