Quilt.

Sunday I went to my parents house to work on a quilt I've been making for the past 2 years. My mom bought me the fabric at Quilts and Fixings Quilt Shop in 2007 as a gift and have been working little by little on it since. We finally got the whole thing pieced together yesterday. The last thing we need to do is add the outside boarder than the top will be completely finished. It has taken us so long because we wanted it to be perfect. The fabric is so pretty, it's civil war era browns and pinks. The colors don't show well in the picture since it was taken from my iphone. This will make my 4th completed quilt. I'm so excited!

Summer!

I'm back from my extra long vacation. I went to Maine to attend a funeral for the first half. The weather was horrible. It was cold and rained the entire time. All our big Maine plans where ruined. We had scheduled a trip to the coast and mountains both we had to cancel due to the weather. But it was good to see family. I miss them more than they know/think. While I was gone I got the following picture:

The second half of my trip was spend in Hilton Head, SC. The fella in the picture above, Stephen, his parents own a condo right on the beach. It was literal a few feet from the beach.. amazing! It was so nice out, weather was perfect. There was hardly anyone in on our part of the beach which made it all the better. There was 9 of us who went. We drank, sang, swam, cornholed, boogie boarded... ahh the life.

Two new additions to my life:

Alligator pool toy. (the cats don't really know what to think of it!) I love my pool, but there is no sun hitting it when I get home. It's horrible! It's still 90 degrees at 6:00pm but NO sun! So sad! But I do spend every second on the nice weekends down there!

These are wall hanging birds that I bought to go over my bed. There is hardly anything on my walls which I can't stand so these guys add a little something. And they match my tattoo!
