It's been ages since I spent time with my blog but I'm blaming that on the fact that somehow magic occurs every year about this time and summer once again slips away with ever-increasing speed. As with most people summer is filled with family, friends and adventures into the great outdoors. Who can be sitting at a sewing machine? The days will soon be filled with darkness and the sun beckons us to soak up and save up its rays for the long, gray winter we know lies ahead.
I returned from the Lavender Festival filled with new ideas to try. In the coming months I will share those ideas as they take on three dimensions. I hope to expand into making smaller purses and even a fun jacket. Stay tuned....
For now, here's a glimpse of my summer.
One of our projects is the replacement of all the glass on my sweet little greenhouse. It's happening, but slowly!
This is the start of a rock garden on the approach to our house. Now it just needs some more plants.
Time out for play with our grandson and friends while camped on Idaho's pristine Selway River.
My sister came to visit and we hit the road for a trip around the Idaho panhandle.
We camped at Lake Pend Oreille....
Played in Lake Coeur d'Alene...
And kayaked on the Snake River. It's been a busy, fun summer...and...it's not over yet. We are leaving in less than two weeks to do an 8-day kayaking circuit of the Bowron Lakes in B.C., Canada. Should be a great adventure!
I hope everyone had a great summer and will enjoy these lovely days that lead into fall. One of these days I'll get back to my sewing machine...
