The Good Ol' Summertime!

Happy summer! Are you keeping busy?

We just got back from a trip, mini retreat, family visit all in one.  

It was pretty hectic, but lots of fun too!

Now I am back to my crazy sewing schedule, grilling, weeding etc

Isn't it funny how fast the weeds can grow when you leave for a bit?

Its like they all tell each other, she is gone, let's see how tall we can get! ;-)

The first things I made last week~

~a pair of sunglasses cases.  The pattern is from Liz @ Moments Designs 

and is called Zig-Zags because of the way the zipper is zipped.

There are two other designs included in this pattern and I have made both for the grandkiddoes.

I also got my embroidery machine busy decorating some pillowcases for DMIL. She loves the color  lavender and had been asking DH's sister to find her a pair of lavender pillowcases.  They are in a very, very small town, so we offered to pick some up for her when we got back.  

I embroidered her name on them. The bandana was my practice piece, but she likes them for napkins, so it went off to her too. :-)

I am headed back to do a bit of sewing. I need to catch up my Marvelous Mini Monday blocks from Temecula Quilt Co.

Are you sewing along too?

Have a very safe and happy 4th!
