crafting day

Sara and I have decided to plan intentional craft days throughout the summer.  Yesterday was our first day.  I'd say it was a smashing success.  We are both borderline obsessed with this blog and used it for much of our inspiration.  Thanks Dana for being awesome at sewing and such!  We also decided to photo document our adventures.  Enjoy! The name of this fun fabric is "this land is your land" And yes, it has caricatures of the states with their capitals all over it.  Perhaps my effort will make me more like Mrs. Frizzle.  If you know anyone with a magic school bus, let them know I'm interested.

Twirling in new skirt.

Sara's cute creation  :)  

In the next few months, there will be more crafting days, so stay tuned for updates on projects.  

summer

So I've started this book...well, more like I am reinventing a book.  I'm creating a book full of ideas, recipes, quotes, pictures, etc.  These are things I want to do, try, experience, accomplish all in the summer of 2011.  The few who follow this blog will see snippets of the book as it progresses and as I complete the tasks inside.  I'm pretty stoked and I hope you are too.  Here's to Summer 2011.
