I'm Back

I'm back now but I have been busy with kids doing the summer thing :)
It will only be a few days before I start posting new plush. It's always hard to get back into the old routine, but I have SO MUCH new fabric, all thrifted! I hope everyone is having a great summer!

Still on Vacation!

The other day we went to Indian Mary Park for a day by the river. It was beautiful. Years past we have rafted it and that is really fun. I just love the sweet smell of the waterside.
I go back to Portland Tuesday and even though I will be sad to leave my family I am excited to get back to sewing!! I have ideas, man! :)

Diary 2009 project space still available

This is a better pic of my submission. There is still available space if anyone reading this is interested. I have a link on the right.

Old stuff

This is a pic inside my parent's garage. They have collected so much stuff over the years. It's fun to come "shopping" here! Haha. That dressform thingy was originally mine but when we moved I left it with them, I am going to borrow it back because I may try my hand at t-shirt applique and she would model well. Besides who needs an excuse to have any kind of dressform around??? I used to own an amazing full dress form, a vintage beauty but I sold it. It was a moment of insanity that I will never forgive myself for. That's why certain people really should not downsize. really. We are all made differently. We can't all do Simple, hehe.

Small Town

Still not doing much :)
My sister took most of these pics, I was making sure the kids were still in line, haha.

Southern Oregon

Okay, I've been lazy as can be. Today we went to The Growers Market. I know the people selling the gorgeous turnips. One summer some of us went to help at their farm for fun, this was before I could drive, Lucille the farm owner offered to let me have a try with their farm truck. I ended up in the potato field, ha.
My dad's friend is Bountiful Bagel, he's an artist, too. I love their van! :)
Pennington Farms jams and pies was featured in the last issue of Country Living.
I will show you some shops tomorrow. Happy summer :)

Hello!
