Thursday Update (Last one for June)

Well today is already the last Thursday this Month. In one week it will be July. So here is the progress update for my little garden.

Zucchini sprouts

Outside Tomatoes, Yellow squash, cilantro and chives.

I tried an overlock stitch using white and red thread. It was much quicker then the hand stitching.

Although not as dimensional I like the time saving element of doing it this way.

Have a wonderful week!

Evening at the Beach

Just a few pictures from our fun evening with the Wrights.

Darren trying to create some waves for Allie.

No wind or waves but so nice and warm to play in.

Samantha's very first time to surf and she did great!

Ben in good form.

The sun is dropping in the western sky and it is well past dinner time so the boards are being stowed until next time! Hope to see you soon at one of our favorite surf spots! 

Thursday Update

It was so fun to get back in my sewing room after the week at girls camp.

A good friend found this cute tutorial at Skip To My Lou and sent it to me.

There is a zipper in it but she explains how to put it in very well. It does not take very much fabric at all so it will be fun mixing those cute small pieces in your stash!

I am working on my blanket stitch on a few squares of fleece.

This year we are having a lot of luck with Tomatoes so I am going to try a few other seeds and see what happens. The tomato here came from our bush outside. The seedlings behind it are also tomatoes, and the seedlings on the right are basal.

Girls Camp 2010!

I was asked to take a group picture at girls camp this year and was going to spend the first Night. Turns out that I ended up volunteering too stay the entire week. I know crazy huh! I really did enjoy being with the beautiful and sweet girls from our stake (Charleston, SC) They were energetic and happy everyday, even though the camp pool was rarely available to cool down in ( that is another story to long to tell).

Thursday Update

Wow I can't believe we are almost into Summer and half the year has gone by!

I finished the Greta quilt and just took it out of the dryer tonight. I really like it despite the seams that did not stay put during it's washing. A few hand stitches and all is well.

And just for fun a grungy style flower from some of the scraps!

Wishing you all a very happy Summer!

Girls Camp Prep Night!

It is that time of year again! School is out the temps are rising it is humid and rainy! That means it's time to get ready for the annual Stake Young Women's girls camp!

We had a Luau dinner and went over the skit.

These girls are too cute as are all our YW!

We had a blast making our cool Tie Dye shirts for camp!

All lined up to dry!
