Ahh Vacation!

We just got back from Cayucos, CA for Thanksgiving break and it was amazing as usual! The cousins got to play for hours on end at the beach & the sunsets are amazing. I'm ready for Christmas now! :)

Big Bear Beauty

We had a great time in Big Bear with our family & grandma. The top photo is with Tom's mom, Carrol. The rest are favorites from the trip on our driving tour across the mountain. We managed to also kayak, shop :), dip in the pool, eat out & watch movies at night. Time to get back to sewing, but loved the break!

Vacation Time!

Just finished these beautiful blankets for Gabrielle. Today we leave for vacation! :) These blankets look relaxing & cozy. They remind me of the great books I am bringing that will be fun to cuddle up & just read for fun. We are going to Big Bear which is still pretty cold, so we are bringing hot chocolate mix, sweatshirts & walking shoes. I also get to work on the kids scrapbooks. I used to work on them all the time, but now I sew full time, so I am limited to twice a year. Now & Christmas. There are fewer pictures these days, too, as my kids are 12 & almost 15. I don't volunteer in their classrooms at this age, there are fewer dress up days at my daughters school, & I doubt any high schooler would participate in 'crazy hair day'!!! So, I have about 6 months worth of photos I get to enjoy. Hope you enjoy your week, I will blog when I get back, but will be reading your blogs while I'm gone. I still have a need to look at all the beautiful creations everyone else does. You are all so inspiring!

Vacation

We get to go on vacation for a few days, so thought I'd just post a fun photo from the weekend. My son made a grappling hook and attached it to the pine tree in the school yard behind our house over the weekend (its removable). They have been having the best time on it. Hope you have this much fun this week! :) Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!!!
