I'm Back!!!

Whew!

What a few weeks it has been.

10 to 12 people in the household

at all times.

 I have been working behind the scenes though...
Above is the final border that is going on all
four sides of
Buttercream Summer
to finish it!


Here are some of the 
in-process pics...

And I've been steadily working at
Parisian Summer...

Above I started out with one color of thread
for the 'writing...
then tried another...

Only to rip out both...
and start completely over...
with a thread that was a color way
in between the two...

Ain't pickin' fun???!!!

Now about what else has been happening around here 
the last few weeks...

Lots of cooking and family dinners...

Nights of Jamming...

Little one reading Shabby Chic while daddy plays guitar!

The Guitar Man serenading us with Miss Emily trying to play along...

There were Scrabble games on the terrace...

I was accused of cheating when I bumped the board when it was all coming to an end and I was losing.

Can you believe that?

 Teaching Miss Emily to sew...

Little one had to get in on this though...

Future Quilters???

Finally Mama came...

And hauled him away...

But he was always coming back...

Getting into Grandma's fabric paints...

Who me???

Priceless pics...

There were days at the lake,

shopping down Main Streets,

lunches at cafes

and all in all we had a great time.

But now I must say...

the peace and quiet after 3 weeks...

is pure bliss!

Back to the pile of work waiting for me...
