Where is the summer going?? We aren’t really having “summer” here in Buffalo. It’s been cooler than summer should be and raining always. The pool hasn’t even thought about entertaining visitors.
However, we escaped to the Cape. We spent a week on the sunny beach and the weather was wonderful. Andrew and I also celebrated our birthdays. 32 if you’re wondering. :)
This is my favorite picture of me from the trip. The little one really was having fun even though it appears that she’s being tortured by the look on her face.
Molly never wanted to leave the water.
Look at the way my guy is looking at me. Probably wondering why the heck I’m taking a picture of myself. I think it turned out pretty neat though.
So, back on the home front I’ve been doing a little crafting. I really missed my machine after being gone for 10 days. I ran across a few projects that I thought were too cute and had to try. It turns out I really like them. Time to start prepping for the big Art Fest in September.
These little gadget cases are too cute.
They’re just the right size to hold a cell phone, ipod, blackberry, etc. There’s also a pocket for some cash or a few cards.
Or some gum, which you can always find in my bag.
You can also use it for a small camera. Cute. The handy clasp lets ya snap it onto your purse or bag so it doesn’t go far. What a fabulous project for scraps and smaller pieces of fabric.
Another great use of scraps…
Gotta protect your shades. These and the gadget cases are lined with fleece to keep everything scratch free and cushioned.
Ok- I hope that wasn’t too much for one post, but seeing as I only post about once a month now I felt like I should get a bunch in.
Hope everyone is having a great summer.
Missed ya! Glad you took a trip. We're not having much of summer over in Pennsylvania either, but think of all that AC money we aren't spending!
Those little cases are adorable!!!
Oh and you self portrait turned out really cool. :)

Hello from Texas! I've been following your blog for a little while now (a friend of a friend liked your dress How To and showed it to me). I think you're stuff is just Precious. I can't wait to have a little girl of my own and dress her in your cute bonnets! :=) I really enjoy your work; you're doing a great job! Sincerely, Capri :-)

oh those are adorable. I keep meaning to make some small stuff with my fabric scraps, but I seem to always be running out of time.

Those gadget cases are brilliant! Great photos from the cape... oh how I'd love to live close enough to say that... "oh just a little trip to the cape"
As far as we are from the cape, it's been a cool (even in the 60's!) and wet summer here too. It really doesn't seem like summer, and here it is nearly over. Such a shame.
