We are having a busy summer around here!!
We got our daughter and her family all moved to Idaho the end of May.
They have been back a few times for various activities
they had planned here and we have made a couple of trips there.
It's a 6 hour drive so that's not too bad
but we are still adjusting to having those sweet granddaughters
further away from us!!
Maybe I have been playing too much this summer!!! But it feels good to goof off a little.
We have been to two weddings, welcomed a new grand nephew, celebrated Hazel's Golden 5th Birthday, and have have been able to take several day trips over to the beautiful
Oregon Coast with a couple of my sisters and other family members!!
I LOVE going to the beach!!
We have has some beautiful weather which makes it even more fun!!
I am planning on finding more days I can get over there soon!!
But the big new of the summer I want to share with you is that my book is out!!
It's available now!!
Sew Many Notions
Wonderful Wool Appliques, Simple Stitcheries, and More
The book includes 80 pages of wool and cotton sewing themed designs that are fun and easy!!
It was so much fun designing and writing the projects
