Ok, where on earth did the summer go? It was a busy and good one. I was surprised to see how many projects I actually completed in August. Two of the projects were for blog hops and two were Bee Blocks. Seems I work best under pressure! Lovely Lynne is hosting her Small Blog Hop and Fresh Sewing Day. Here is my little mosaic of finishes!
(I have to plug PicMonkey which is where I made the mosaic. It is free and wonderful to use. You can resize your photos and there are lots of different mosaic shapes!)
We (my boys and I) spent most of August at Colman Pool. It has become a summer ritual for us. We didn't have the warmest of summers but the boys didn't seem to mind! They have both become such good swimmers!!
It is an outdoor pool and sits on the edge of a point right on Puget Sound. I can't imagine a better way to spend a day.... swimming with my boys and enjoying the absolutely beautiful vistas of the water and the Ferry boats going by.
I learned a lot this summer - it is so important to enjoy the moment even when you feel you cannot take any more little boy energy and fighting : )
I'm going to miss spending so much time with the two of them....... They are growing up too fast!!!!
Enjoy your weekend!!
Time really just flies! I love your blocks - your vintage sewing machine pattern is on my Sept to make list!
