Wooden Spool Designs

Turning the pages of the calendar here on my blog....July, August, SEPTEMBER!!! it's hard to keep up if your calendar days go by as fast as mine!!

 It's been a good summer here starting with a visit from my sister Jan!! She lives in Yakima and took a trip over here to spend time with me in my sewing room. Jan is a huge help and encouragement to me. We sure have lots of fun and laughs stitching together!! She too is a night owl which makes it more fun staying up late with someone to giggle with!! I have given her the nickname of Kiki and set up an area in my sewing room called Kiki's Korner just for her!!! I can't believe all the things she accomplished while she was in her little corner.....outfits for all the girls....mending for me, christmas presents started, she made me two aprons, and a very cool bag!!!! 

We also made some time for some fun.....
we got pedicures, went to lunch,

spent a couple of day with all the sisters!!

We made bread, had a picinic, went to Multnoman Falls, Crown Point, and took a day trip to the beach!!

Jeff and I had the opportunity to head to the coast for a weekend with friendsspending time golfing, relaxing, shopping, and enjoying time away!!

The Colors of Summer.....

The summer has been good...but I so love FALL!!! Call me crazy but I love the weather change, the cool crisp mornings with the colors of the trees changing. This past week our weather teased us with a taste of some unnormally cool nights and days and our trees have already started dropping leaves!!
